Texture Tuesday - "The Pink eDition"

The challenge for TT at Kim Klassen Cafe' this week is... PINK! I chose to feature one of my favorite PINK things -- the lovely fireweed. Although Alaska's official state flower is the Forget-me-not, this prolific plant is just as beautiful and - IMHO - would also be a sweet contender for state flower.


Photo was processed using Kim's "Love in Layers" (color burn, 75%) and "Aurora" (multiply, 100%) textures, as well as a texture I made myself using a photo I snapped yesterday of the hood of our burgundy-colored HHR (soft light, 25%). Clipping mask made from a brush in Anna Aspnes' "Hipster Plumes Korners N Edges No. 1" digital brush kit. Fonts are Lithos Pro ("Fireweed") and Rage Italic ("copper river alaska").


First image is SooC, but re-sized for the web. TFL :)
