Flip Flop Edit Challenge Feb 4B

Still feeling a bit out of it.  Haven't done much with the computer.  The coughing keeps me up so through out the day I feel so pooped!  Anywho...

The current pic over at Flip Flop Edit Challenge was supplied by the guest judge, Gina Kleinworth of Kleinworth & Co.  The picture is so picturesque, so crisp and clear!  Man, wish I had that kind of talent.

This is what I did:

 

With ipiccy,

• I added a blue ray texture from Kawaii & Graph.  The link I have for it takes it to a forum page so I don't have the correct link to the texture itself.
• Used the Daguerreotype filter.
• Used the Polaroid Film Filter.

With Gimp,

• I added a Double Grunge Border by Struckdumb over at DeviantArt.
• I also added some Gimp Scratch Brushes by FrostBro over at Deviant Art.

Thanks for looking!

Flip Flop Edit Challenge Feb 3b

 Amy again applied the picture for the current challenge.  I had issues with this edit.  I used Gimp with adding the frame and I had a hard time making it fit.  I fear the pic is distorted a bit.  Still learning
