{Texture Tuesday} The Movie Lovin' eDition

and a Surprise!

mouse over to see the before

Hello my friends!

It's time for another Texture Tuesday Linky Party!!

This week's theme is movie titles... 

Pick a title of a favorite movie, and then share a photo that depicts the title.....

Can you guess my movie?  

Maybe yes, maybe no? 

Bryce didn't get it at all... and he is a total movie freak....he looked at my photo and said.... 'key and a bottle?' 

I was like... 'Bryce...think of a movie I love with the word bottle in it...'

and he was like...

'ummm... Message in a Bottle...what does a key have to do with that?' In his extra-special condescending way.... Ugh....

And maybe he's right...but the bottle seemed a little boring without the key... and there is a little paper message in the bottle...  Ugh...

Oh and it gets better.... I called John in to check it out... he stood here, over my shoulder...and out of his mouth...came....

are you ready for this?.... 

'key .... and a .....(long pause).....bottle?' and then he proceeded to say pretty much the same thing Bryce did....

UGH... Some days I feel like I'm so alone in this house of men... haha...

Here's my recipe for today's photo. 

• Layer 1 - Background 
• Layer 2 - Black and white adjustment layer. Reduced the opacity to 55% to bring back some color and create a sepia tone.
• Layer 3 - Added my latest and soon to be released 1,2,3, Texture at soft light 100% opacity. I'm madly in love with this texture. Seriously. 
• Layer 4 - Added Magic Grunge from the Ultimate Bundle at screen blend mode 100% opacity.
• Layer 5 - Added Magic Scratches (rotated 90 degrees) from the Ultimate Bundle at screen blend mode 50% opacity.
• Layer 6 - Added a gradient adjustment. Choose a copper brown to transparent gradient and set the angle to -32 degrees. Set the style to linear.
• Layer 7 - Added a new blank layer set to soft light and with a black soft round brush 50% opacity, I brushed over the message and the bottle. (a little non-destructive burning)
• Layer 8 - Stamped it with my watermark. (scroll down to check out the watermark tutorial on this page)
• The End

But wait, remember that 1,2,3 Texture I mentioned in the recipe? .... well, take a peek....  'sigh'

You would not believe the layers that went into this baby!! But it was worth every bit of time and effort.... 

True Texture Love....

I know it's not the weekend.... but I have to share this baby with you all!

Back to School....

The TT Theme for August 23rd is...
Back to School!!

And to spice up the challenge a little... You must use at least 2 different textures on your photo! 

Sound like a plan, Stan? :)
