Vervain

This is a wildflower by the name of vervain:

Vervain dry brush, sandstone texture, craquelature 3D Let’s see…..to this photo I first added a dry brush effect followed by sandstone texture finished off with a craquelure overlay.  I also applied “3D transform” on the flower stems in an attempt to make them stand out from the background more.  Not sure if it helped or not.  Am thinking the craquelure effect might be a bit much---it makes the green grass in the background look like artificial turf at a miniature golf course.

Whatever the effects applied, it's a pretty picture. Don't remember that I've seen Vervain before.

The effects that you used really made the color pop on the vervain flowers. I like it!

Happy weekend to you. =)
