It was love at first sight ♥
When I first visited Kristy's Life-n-Reflection I think I spent an hour just by looking at the wonderful blog header. Seriously - I warn you. If you haven't visited her yet, prepare to get hooked.
I love Kristy's photography (and everything else she does), but the most wonderful thing for me is her textures. I'm a huge texture-lover!!! You're able to shop Kristy's textures online at Life-n-Reflection Boutigue. The textures are very reasonable prised and they usually come in packs of four or something, so they are an easy choise to start your journey with textures. Give it a try!
Now, I've been lucky to try out Kristy's Thunderstorm Series textures from her Ephemera Texture Collection that you can find here - come and check it out!
Here is a little peak of what you can do with textures to spice up your photography work. I've played with textures and all the different blending modes to show you what textures can give to pictures.
My little Blue. Textured with "Shelter". Blending mode Darken 89% opacity.
My Blues. Textured with "Rainfall". Blending mode Soft light 100% opacity.
My Key to Spring. Textured with "Storm Gloud". Blending mode Multiply 53%
My vintage spring. Textured with "Gray Skies". Blending mode Multiply 69%.
In case you haven't tryed textures before, It's really easy! Basically you just ad the texture as a new layer, resize it to match your photo and play with blending modes.
And one more...
With my favorite texture - Kristy's "Story teller".
Not for sale at the moment, but you never know... ;)
Want to wish everyone happy texture-time!!!
