a playful session

I started off playing with layering textures using different effects, using a photo I took at the beach near home last week.  I liked the kind of vintage, worn, old look so stopped playing. 

Then I wondered if I could carve a word into the wood and played with those effects.

Then I remembered that the prompt from Inspiration Avenue this week was to use some words which included hope,wish, dream and to  have a vintage feel.  So that is where I went.  I like the result, not a wow, but a good feel, so I’m pleased especially as I just started out playing.
