I made this brush using a tut by corey baker

use on a separate layer then
add layer styles

outer glow > red > 100% opacity > blendmode hard light

inner glow > orange yellow > 100% opacity > blendmode > hard light

Now this feature i have fell in love with already and it wasnt a consideration for the camera ! all done in camera and really quite easy
except i messed up on the winter one, my fence isnt that skewy! funny thing though i thought i had messed up the second stitch part ! but i thought i would still include it so that you can see what a difference 18 hours makes to out weather

Some smoke brushes that i have made using flame painter
and cs2

hope they are of some use to you

Resist the temptation to use white try out grey and add a little blur to the smoke

Due to no one playing ball and letting me practice on them (as wrote in last entry) i have had to resort to more flowers

So next challenge will have to be things that are in the house i.e. objects, that may take some thinking and planning though but it may keep me amused with winter coming

mind you i also want to get some sunsets/silhouettes if i could find a interesting place, I was hoping that i could of got some while on holiday but that was a let down...
