| | | Janet, soooo soft and pretty! Very well done. Great job covering up a kinda weedy background.
Palms, Love the smudge job. I still haven't figured out that technique. Is it tedious? I'll have to find the tutorial.
Great work, people! |

| | | dont recall all the steps, but one of the first was to run the 32 band gray and darken some things. then a screen blend over the original and copy merge to new layer. there was a curves in over the top of that somewhere and a hue/sat, both to bring out the reds mostly. after that it was mostly hand painting in the drip.
