lady's mantle is so darn photogenic...

Sometimes I just like to have a little vintage-y, texture-y fun... :)

the heart of the matter

"I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time. "

It's Magic

Oh boy, lots of rain yesterday! I love the leaves of Lady's Mantle on rainy days -- they catch the raindrops and transform from an ordinary green leaf to a sparkling spread of green velvet, scattered with diamonds. :)

How do you spend the dreary months of winter? We don't have any pretty snow here at the moment, and everything looks cold and gray. I've been playing with actions and textures in Photoshop.

I used one of my favorite Florabella actions here, then added two textures from the new Florabella Textures Pack II, and finally added a quick edge burn.

And I quite like the results. A little brightness to cheer a dreary day. :)
