Endless Possibilities Challenge No. 56 - Flowers for a Lady

Hi everyone,

I would love to see what you can do with this starter image. Experiment and, most of all, have fun with it. Let your creative juices flow!

Great image to play with.



Created duplicate converted to B/W
Created an elliptical Vignette Transparency encompassing the girl, vase of flowers and part of the table.
Saved that as a png file and brought back in.
Placed a BG paper from 'A Beautiful Soul' kit by G&T Designs below the Transparency and gave it a Difference Blend Mode. The butterfly is from the same kit.
Put a Dissolve Blend Mode on the png transparency.
I had to take a screen snip of this and save it to upload as trying to save as either a jpg or a png for some reason meant losing the effects I had used!

Converted to a watercolor and line drawing before merging the layers. Texture from Topaz effects. Created the inner images from a selection and used a blurred copy of the image to make the frame.

Oh! My! Talk about letting the creative juices flow! You all have been quite busy (while I slept).

Moto – Great job! I really like this effect. It made the colors and the lines pop. Would you mind sharing how you did this?

BillieJean – This is quite unique.  Everything came together to create a very interesting effect, especially the use of the Difference blending mode.

Whippet – Your entry made me smile. I love the whimsical look of it. It reminds me of an illustration in a children’s book.

Frank – Beautiful watercolor/line drawing effect. The texture you applied and the blurred frame raised this creation to another level.

Beautiful  starter and all versions are so good, I can't decide which I like best.

Rita,

I really like this! The addition of the open window and flowering trees really enhance this image. Great idea and execution!

Used Fractalius filter, then Topaz Glow on vase and flowers.

I'm learning to use Topaz. The possibilities are mindboggling. Sepiana, I really like your Topaz application.

1) Colored Pencil
2) Graphics Novel with Fine Detail option
3) Used a blending mode. Which one I don't remember.
4) Multiple Levels adjustments and a opacity change.

Edited for simplicity

Wow, everyone has done such a terrific job with this image! I opted for a spring bonnet for the lass and a mainly black and white look with a touch of selective colour to the flowers. Finally, I added a warm diffused glow to the overall image.

Wowww, what a wonderful collection of images, was really hard to know what to do with this image so a picture of our planter which was taken last summer from our garden seem a nice idea for this image.
