cute couple

I made this to be a xmas present for my friends. I used buzz to get the simplified colors. I made a sketch using the invert>linear dodge>gausian blur method. Then I stamped the visible image and ran filter>brushstrokes>crosshatch on that. Then I ran buzz to get the simplified colors and ran crosshatch on that. Then I set that layer to multiply. I created a blank layer at the top and painted with white to remove all the background. Then I stamped visible, selected the white area and painted with the mosaic chalk brush with light beige (selected from the image) in the foreground and white in the background. Then I flattened and saved.

Very nice results. I had never considered applying Buzz with the "C-dodge/G-blur" effect. I'm inspired by you once again.

Thank you....another effect I want to try is using buzz and then overlaying a stamp image filter>sketch>stamp. I think with the right image it would be very interesting....wanna try ?
