Flowers and Photoshop



I'm always amazed at the torrent of blooms that come with spring. It seems like one moment the ground is frozen and brown, and the next moment it is bursting at the seams with all the colors of the rainbow.

We have had snowdrops, muscari, hellebores and daffodils in quick succession, followed by quince, spirea and now azaleas.

So I picked a few blossoms and had some fun with Photoshop, giving them a vintage-y feel.

Yes, vintage-y is so a word.

Anyway, I thought I would share my little picture with you, and wish you all a beautiful weekend. :)

Please join me for Mosaic Monday this week. Mr. Linky will be up by 8:30 pm Eastern time, USA, Sunday. I have been having so much fun visiting all your mosaics and meeting so many new people from all over the world. Thanks so much for making this such a fun day for me! :)

  3. I just can't seem to work with Photoshop that well. I have some books about using it and I really must take some time and study. As usual your pictures are beautiful.

  4. Love your picture. I have worked with photoshop but can't see to do any thing but put text and resize, etc don't seem to be able to change the picture. Guess I will just keep working. Thanks for sharing that.

  5. Flowers in Photoshop are so much fun. There's so many different directions to take that I have a tough time deciding what I like best!

    One day I really must buy Hellebore's for my shade garden.
