A single bloom...




I used 'Plaster' texture - Collection 1 - overlay blend mode




I decided to use a piece of cream mounting board as a backdrop for this picture, to give the texture a more prominent effect in the finished image...it also reflected more light onto the Lisianthus, which was handy as our house is surrounded by trees, so quite shaded...I like the warm, old fashioned look that I ended up with, I did a little edge burning to bring the focus in on the single bloom too...wishing you all a wonderful and creative weekend :)
