almost there...

It is texture tuesday once again. 

 This week we needed to apply at least one layer of Kim Klassen's newest texture, Pheobe.

This is a photo of my well loved and worn out shelling shoes.  They are down on Sanibel Island just waiting for my return this week!  They have some holes, where my tootsies poke thru and the colour has all faded...but they are like an old friend.  They have never failed me on my quest each day for that perfect shell and i will never trade them in for a new shiny pair.

Once i put them on, i can shell for hours on the beautiful beaches of the island.  I never know what that next wave may wash unto shore for me to discover. 

For today's challange i desaturated the photo some to give it more of a muted tone.  I then applied the new Phoebe texture, February Magic Edges and Shades of November.  On each layer i lower the opacity somewhat and erased some of the texture off my shelling shoes.  I added a final layer to add the text.

using the beautiful Phoebe texture.

Wish us luck on our travels.  This is the first year in almost 30 years of visiting the island, that we are driving.  We waited too long to purchase our airline tickets...the price was out of sight!  And we have our doodlebug to consider.  I just could not bear the thought of having him down with the luggage.  So we are all piling in the car and making the 22 hour drive down.  This will be one long road trip.

But it will be so worth it, when i step into my old shelling shoes

and walk those beautiful beaches again!!
