February Designer Challenge Hosted by Angelwithin

This picture was taken this morning. What a beautiful tree.

Background I solorized the photo, then I added another layer and embosed it, another layer was added and I crackled the layer and made it transparent so the colors can come through. I made a gold mask and added to the picture to make it look like the sun was coming through the tree.

I love everyone's creative ideas on the effects of the pictures. Great Job everyone.

Good to see you back Fiona, here is my layout. Hope it fills the criteria. Pic is of my hubby's ggg grandfather. credits to helga stolzenwald from Grannys art for the frame, all the rest is mine. Did a water colour effect on the pic, everything else looked terrible. Have a good day everyone.
