Liquid Blue

This is my entry for the Mixed Media Monday Challenge "Something Blue". A mixed media collage made from a garden sculpture, personal floral photos, botanical text, peeling paint background (scrapbookgraphics) and soft light, multiply and pin light color filters blended in photoshop. Gaussian blur/liquify effects for a fluid watery feel.

    Very magical Lori - I think you captured it perfectly. Are there elves in your garden do you think? There's certainly something enchanting in the air...
