texture tuesday ~ little things

well that was a fast week... it's texture tuesday again already!

this week ms. kim didn't give us a topic, just asked that we use at least one layer of her beautiful and subtle texture "Little Things"

my pal duffy and i have taken advantage of the few sunny days we've had to head out to the beaches and gather some fresh new springtime sea glass. it's still cold and my fingers froze, but it sure feels good to see those glistening gems in the sun on the beach. and duff does love his ice water swims.

here's a bit of what we came home with:



and here it is after a photoshop spa treatment:

i set the image on soft light blend and adjusted the levels and contrast a bit. i added a cooling filter at 17%. then i placed one layer of kim's "little things" texture set on multiply at 74%, and one more set soft light at 45%. i like the grungy-beachy look.
