A blue Monday...


Only in the sense that I've been working away on my Delphinium pictures...the one I'm sharing today is from our garden...I love blue...




'Levi' and 'Crush' textures used and 'White Smudge' frame - Collection 2 



I wanted to create a watercolour effect and it turned out as if it's printed on fabric, which I really like. I used a monochrome adjustment layer at about 50% to tone down the blues and greens to add to the washed out look I wanted...I used the frame on a 'soft light' blend mode to give it a little softness too...although these are truly vibrant flowers, I wanted to reflect the softness of the individual blooms and the rain that fell moments before I took this picture...
