I learned how to get the pink to read better in Photoshop today. I was trying to “up” the pink. And what I needed to do was enhance the whites. I used the image adjustments selective color to do this.  Man I love it when I learn something new!

There is a lot of texture in this background. Below is a detail shot for you. after painting the area,  I splattered both colors as well as clean water on top. I really like how it turned out.

Yesterday I was asked to talk more about Mineral paper. I planned on sharing links with the posts I wrote previously. But after searching, I found that they were written at the end of September. My blog is missing September, as many of you know. Really a bummer, as I had also included links to several places mineral paper is available for purchase.

Corinna, give me one more day, and I will share some information with you.

Five minutes to spare before the midnight blast off!

My Pinterest board for this challenge is over 300 strong!
