Inspiration Avenue Challenge

Another challenge!  Can't help myself.  This week on Inspiration Avenue the theme is 'Purple and Green'.

As they say in Australia...bewdy!!  I love these colours together and, in fact, have recently done a collage  using the same.

Not entirely happy with 'just' the collage, I was compelled to alter it slightly using Photoshop to give it a little more 'oomph'.

LIFE

I quite like the image... but then I liked the original collage.

    I like the collage - and I REALLY like that you alter your own work in Photoshop. It's so obvious to do that, however, it never occured to me. Can you believe that? Thank you so much for this inspiration!

    Thanks Carola. Glad to be of help. I find that it's great to start with an original image that you have a connection with.
