A Rose for Valentine's Day

To make those beautiful Valentine's Day flowers last forever, why not take a photo.

Here's how I created this picture using Photoshop Elements 8 with textures from ShadowHouse Creations:

• Open your photo - this will become the Background Layer.
• Layer 1: Open your first texture. I used 'Lime' from the Heavenly Vintage Texture Set. Then set your blend mode to 'Soft Light'.
• Layer 2: Open your second texture. This time I used 'ACT4' from the Aged Canvas Texture Set. Set your blend mode to 'Overlay'.
• Merge Layers.

Thanks to Jerry from ShadowHouse Creations for sharing these amazing textures.

Happy Valentine's Day!
