{Texture Tuesday} The Number Three eDition

mouse over to see the before

.....

 

Hello TT Friends! 

So nice to see you here!  Are you ready to link up?  :)

This week .... Texture Tuesday is all about the #3.....  

And my oh my... I can not wait to see your fabulous interpretations.

But first, I have an easy-peasy recipe for today's peony photo..... 3 peonies in 3 coca cola bottles.....  

I couldn't resist...I had to photograph some more peonies.... Gosh they are so beautiful.

'sigh' 

If only they could last all summer!  

I used the latest canvas-back freebie and another of my favs..... plaster 2 from the Studio Collection. I wanted the subtle framed edge that plaster2 creates..... but this recipe would work well with the freebie canvas-back magic texture as well.

The Three Peony - 5~Layer Photoshop Recipe

layer 1- background

layer 2 - hue/saturation adjustment magenta channel.... just slightly desaturated

layer 3 - canvas back at multiply 22% opacity

layer 4 - plaster 2 inverted and set to screen blend mode 100%

layer 5 - duplicate of layer 3

That's it...that's all....

.....

Before we get to linking up... let's talk next week's TT challenge.....

After a little pondering...an idea came to me..... (probably because I'm all about the peonies lately).

The Tuesday, July 12th TT Prompt is:

Let's get creative.... The possibilities are endless. 

Think outside the box..... have fun with it.... and when you post...share a little about your interpretation if you wish. :)

....

Alright TT friends.... time to link up your 'Number 3 Textured Photos'.....  

Thanks for 'playing'!!

Love.... and gratitude.....

I like that texture on the peonies. They look vintagey. Lovely props too.
Thanks for having us.

Oops I posted the wrong theme. Can you remove #14 please and I'll work on the 3 theme. Sorry.

[Evelyn in Oregon]

I'm not sure how I used 4 layers of textures, but it doesn't really look like it! ;-) Thanks for the new textures....I tried Canvas Back right away.

Extra!

[Nadege]

Lovely as always, your images are an inspiration and I just love playing with your amazing textures.

[Susan Wilde]

Oops, tried this link up for the first time today (#29) and I see that the "http\\" is in the link twice, causing it not to work. Sorry can't figure out how to change it or delete it.

Oh - can't wait to come back later in the day and check out the pictures! Thanks Kim

sigh.... just gorgeous. I so love peonies and also wish they could last all summer.
Do you know this trick? Pick some stems that are just buds, wrap them in wet newspaper and place in a plastic bag and put them in the refrigerator for a week or two, Then you can pull them out and they will open up in your vase. It's a good way to extend your peony season a little!

Great original shot Kim, the composition is so good but the texture work give it an extra dimesion and depth. Love it!!

[Kerry Estey Keith]

These images are inspiring. The only thing #3 about my image is the number of textures I used. Thanks to you!

[Sheila A.]

This is so beautiful. What a difference the texture makes!

[yvette]

Peonies would have to be my second best flower...roses being the my first love. A beautiful crisp photo and thanks for the opportunity to experiment with all these wonderful textures. xxyvette

I used subtlyours and pourvous textures and various blends including overlay.

[Elaine]

I've been clicking my way through the links and there are so many lovely and fun interpretations of Three!

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to play this week, but I think that Pink might just be right up my street~~in fact, I just came up with an idea :~)

[Ali]

I am sooo behind this week... this is stunning.. the before is also stunning, I love it and will try and jump aboard for next week, my fav color is pink so how can I not?
