Hey! So, I managed to make a nifty little background for whatever sort of image I eventually want to put on it.
You might think it’s not much work to make a background like this, but this took me about 2 hours. Mainly, I had to find just the right photos to use, and figure out just the right blending effects for each layer. Took a while to get everything to come together just right. Guess I need to go out and take some more photos.
The coolest thing about this particular image and technique is how easy it is to change the colorway on it. I came very close to posting a purplish pink version, but decided on this instead. Now I have another background I can use if I want to make posters or greeting cards, or even bookmarks.
Look, only 355 more days to go!
