Description


This is one of my favorites of this precious little one, so I reworked it a bit and gave her something to look at-some butterflies!

I A few adjustment layers, added a couple of butterflies, added some texture, and some burnt edges.

I really like this one! What do you think???

All critiques, comments, and advice are greatly appreciated and welcome!

Thanks for looking!!

Very good work girl!! I love all the textures of the b/g..great job. Amber do you use Corel? If so, the curls I use are called curlique. It's under effects, then distortion effects, then curlique. I hope that helps. I create a new layer and erase only the areas I want. Make sense? Sorry I didnt answer you sooner. #6281172
