Texture Tuesdays

My first Texture Tuesday, I'm joining in.  After stumbling upon Kim Klasson's blog from another fellow blogger Arful Diva {Pat}, I tried for the first time using layers....need I say anything more, I'm addicted, so much fun and with Kim's tutorial, so easy.  Not sure about the rights and wrongs, but I am just playing around with textures and opacities until I see what I like.  Please stop over and
check out the blog and other posts.  http://www.kimklassencafe.com/thecafe

Here's the before, hopefully someone will tell me how to post so you just run the mouse over it to see the before, until then I can only offer two photos to see individually.  :)

With a couple of alterations, here's the after.  .

This week's theme was "the little things".  To me just just one flower, any little flower can inspire to boost me up, even wildflowers.  The color, shape, fragrance, texture, all make me happy.  So a little Queen Ann's Lace with some of Kim's texture layers and what a difference.

Have a terrific tuesday! Hugs, Michelle
