Technique Slow Scrap | Tuesday Sept 24 (Instructions)

I think I have to accept that I will always do the Tuesday Technique Slow Scrap AFTER the chat. Cus I always work Tuesdays! lol
I am not sure I like the changes I have made, it's maybe a bit too bright. Oh well, I will practice.
Thanks Karen, I always learn something new!!

Before taken with an iPhone


After - used adjustment layer to lighten

 

I really like Slow Speed Scraps especially if there is a technique involved.
Using three adjustment layers for each photo.

First of all: thanks @Karen ! And, I'm not sure you got my answer to you in the chat, but yep, I wasn't very active because I was on mobile and that's sooo difficult and annoying! And before I could say 'thanks' and 'bye' you got me hooked on the sprocket printer thing and I missed the chat ending surfing for infos, lol
I applied all 3 adjustment layers (color balance, levels and brightness/contrast) to my photo and one (b/c) to the bg paper.

 

Great challenge @Karen

 

Thanks for the great slow scrap Karen!

I used both levels and color balance adjustment layers.
