Two For The Price of One (Flower Art and Photo Art Friday)

Happy Friday everyone! - Thanks for stopping by.  Today I'm sharing not one but two photo's with you.

Friday is home to several Memes which I enjoy participating in.  Sometimes that means creating several different posts which all go up on Friday or early Thursday.  This week I decided to do two of them in one post.

First up:  Flower Art Friday: Click to Enlarge Photos.

I absolutely love how this turned out.  I started with the photo below (SOOC)


The photo was cropped and then I applied Bonnie Zieman's (Pixel Dust Photo Art) texture:  Vintage Craquelure, Hardlight at 80%.  Then I uploaded the photo to BeFunky and used there Watercolor Effect.  Next I reuploaded the photo on PicMonkey and used the Boost Feature (10%) just to up the color a little.  I then added the Quote there added some dark edges and another Simple Frame.

I really love finding quotes for photos.  This one fits the theme for Photo Art Friday but I decided to do another photo for that.  You'll see that below.

Don't forget to stop by LeAnne's Blog for Flower Art Friday  and then head on over to Bonnie's blog for some wonderful photo art.  The theme there this week is, Movement.

Photo Art Friday:  Hi,  Welcome again.  It's time for some wonderful Photo Art which you'll find at Bonnie's blog,  Pixel Dust Photo Art. 

Here is my submission for Photo Art Friday:




For this edit  I uploaded the original photo on Pic Monkey and used Boost at 10% to give the original a little extra oomph.  Then I used Bonnie's texture:  Scratches , Hardlight at 70%.    Then I added the quote and a simple frame. 

Below is the original photo (SOOC) so you can see how I edited it.


Thanks for dropping by and I hope you've enjoy both pieces of Art this week.

    Great work on both pieces, Ida! The one for PAF would make a great inspirational poster. Thank you for sharing your artwork with Photo Art Friday.

    I enjoyed both of these pieces of art. Thank you for including what you did...I have such a hard time remembering mine because I just click, play, and experiment. I had never heard of Be Funky...off to explore that site. Thanks.

    I love your sky photo. It makes good use of negative space to make the photo more dramatic and leads your eye into the photo. The texture you applied makes the sky pop.
    Thank you for visiting my blog, hope you come back soon!!
