Merry Christmas

[denise ippolito]

Roxy and I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas.
I finally tried my hand at aging an image using some of Christopher's techniques. I wanted it to be a little dark so I added some burning to the edges as well as a few vignettes.
Textures by Shadowhouse. I think there is too much pink?

Beautiful portrait, Denise! :) The texture work looks great, I like the border. Just looks a little tight on the bottom. Very nicely done.

Well knock me over with a feather. I thought that I recognized the woman in the thumbnail but my brain refused to process it.... Loverly of course.

Not too much pink at all. The only thing that bugs me are the three fine crease marks across the smooth skin of your upper left cheek.

[denise ippolito]

Artie, Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[Arthur Morris]

You are most welcome. Breathe deep and have fun.

[Julie Kenward]

There she is! We've now both come "undone" on BPN! There's nowhere to hide now!

Great portrait, Denise and a beautiful dog as well. Where has she been hiding? Nice processing - agree with Artie about the cheek creases but love the overall look you've achieved.

On to 2011!!!
