The challenge from Kim this week is to use at least one layer of her free texture Yesteryear.
I took this photograph in my garden yesterday of a Foxglove (and a cheeky insect!). It's a wild foxglove, they pop up all over the place. Did you know the wild ones only flower on one side of the stem. (Cultivated ones flower all around the stem)
I cropped the picture and then used two layers of Yesteryear texture. Comparing the two, the unedited version is much clearer - but then the idea was to soften the overall feel.
Not too sure I don't prefer the unedited version! I used a 'rubber' to remove some of the texture from the inside of the flowers - yes, I reckon I DO like the 'misty' effect I achieved!

Hello Val, your wild foxglove is so pretty, I did not know about the one-side flowering..
I think the soft effect is lovely, and can see where you exposed the centre so well.
Jenni
such an interesting composition and very nice done!
I didn't know that about the wild foxglove. Nice soft and misty result.
I learned something new about foxgloves. Lovely photo Val. V
Terrific texture work!!
Glad to follow you now!
That's a stunning photo of the foxglove and I love the misty effect you have achieved with it.
I like it too!
It's stunning! I love foxglove and think they are so beautiful! Great job!!
An interesting fact about foxgloves. I must look closely at mine when they come out to see which they are. I like the original photo best because it is just so vibrant and full of life.
Lovely. Seems to me you must have an amazing assortment of flowers in your garden!
