BLUE is our word for inspiration this week at Take A Word which I thought was a great opportunity to play around with layers. Using two blue flower backgrounds by NumbBumm I layered one on top of the other with an Overlay blend. The face detail layer, courtesy of Efie, was given a Luminosity blend, then the layer was duplicated and a Lighter Colour blend was used to bring out the detail. A Plastic Wrap filter completed the effect.
Thank you for looking.
WOW, i love this kind of faces, fantastic!
