Capturing Creativity: Etsy Inspired Challenge #137

Welcome to another Etsy Inspired Challenge! This week's featured shop, Imagine Studio, had me actually putting away my crafting supplies and focusing on my photography. I love all the wonderful colors and textures that Lyse creates with her photographs, so I decided to play around with one of my floral pictures in Photoshop and see what I could come up with. I didn't go quite as dramatic with my colors but had fun experimenting with Photoshop since I am still a newbie.

In my original photograph these flowers were purple. So I changed the color, blurred them a bit, and gave the whole photo a canvas texture which I really think gives it a more artsy feel.

I'm sure most of you have heard of our wonderful sponsor this week, EAD Designs. From fabulous wall art to fun stickerz for card making and scrapbooking, you are sure to find some designs that you'll love.

Ready to play along?!
