CT LO for SnickerdoodleDesigns by Karen using Grungy Stripe Overlays (CU)

Well! Who knew how much fun stripes could be?!! LOL!!!
I used 3 different striped overlays and 2 Painted Wood layer styles to create this b/g! All with different blending modes and opacities to achieve this effect that I liked best!
This is the photo I changed so much thanks to Hummie (go look at Hummie's World - fantastic, inspirational place!!) and her Filter classes! Didn't think I'd be able to use it on a page, but once I'd created this b/g, I knew it was the photo to use! Had to multiply it about 8 times to get this depth, but I LOVE what I made, LOL!! This quote seemed so appropriate, as I almost didn't feel like it was me creating this...it was as if something within me were dictating the depth of colour and effect of the overlays and styles! Must be my soul then! hence the title of this piece - A Trapped Soul.
TFL!

CT LO for Snickerdoodle Designs by Karen

For this page I used the painted wood layer styles on the frame, the b/g the leaves and the sprinkles. Use with or without the bevel for different effects! I teamed this photo with karen's newest kit The Artist In Me, as the colours on this paper were just perfect! I blew out the photo to really show up the bee inside the flower. I also used another paper from the kit just under the photo to give it some texture...I lowered the saturation a tad on that.
This photo was taken in the grounds of Charles Darwin's house.
TFL!

CT LO for Snickerdoodle Designs by Karen using NEW Painted Wood Layer Styles

LOVED these new styles! The texture within them is amazing! I used one on the b/g layer and then multiplied my photo about 7 times! Each photo has a varying blending mode and/or opacity, so I could achieve the look I wanted...bit like a painting on wood with some of the texture of the wood coming through the paint!
TFL!
