Texture Tuesday

I missed last week's Texture Tuesday.  I had a photo ready, but it just didn't feel "vintage" to me, even though I had used a vintage action on it.  I wanted to make a new one, but ran out of time.  I did look at a lot of the really awesome vintage photos from last week.  So cool!

Someday I'll have an actual vintage photo, but in the meantime, this is last week's unused photo.  I want to share it even though it didn't fit last week's theme or this weeks.
I don't remember the recipe for this, but I know it was fairly simple.  I ran PW Vintage action and added a texture (my mind is drawing a blank as to which one) at probably soft light 100%.

However, I do like to follow rules, so here is my entry for today.

This has one layer of Yesteryear -- Soft Light 100%
Then one layer of Yesteryear -- Overlay 35%
Then on top of that a hue layer with hue -24 and saturation at -64

Then I flattened the image and ran CoffeShops ButterScotch Vintage
Then I added on layer of Yesteryear -- Soft Light 64%
               Under the color fill and contrast boost layers and
               Above the other 3 layers the action added
Flattened and resized and sharpened for the web

Be sure to check out Kim Klassen's Cafe for other Texture Tuesdays.  They are guaranteed to be amazing!

That is a beautiful rose, it really pops on the image. Thanks for the details of how you achieved the look... this is still a bit of a mystery to me, although I am gradually learning a few things!

I love your idea to add a texture to your statue image...fun!

The dark green background of the second image makes the vibrant color of your rose just LEAP right off the page! Also, the solid background really makes your texture stand out...beautiful!

I love the rose, it is so very beautiful. I wonder if it was perfumed?
