January 6: Dispersion (Technique Challenge)

Now that I understand the technique better I don't think this was a good photo to try it with--the edges of my subjects were too small to mask their edges well, and I didn't have enough liquified to make it work well. But it's done, so I'm declaring it good enough!

 
Here's my Dispersion, January 6 challenge:

That was the hardest challenge I've ever had. I was very frustrated because I worked with the German version of PSE 13 and had to translate and search for everything.
It feels like I've watched all the tutorial videos a thousand times. Thanks for the many tips you all wrote!!
My result does not satisfy me yet. But it is a start.

 
This has been the only hard challenge so far, so I'm excited to be done! Not that I think I did great, but I followed every step -- some twice! -- and got the gist of it. This is definitely something that can't be mastered in one session.

I used a texture brush native to PSCC. I think a splatter brush might have looked better. And also a more colorful photo with the subject more prominent would have been better. I'm happy with my page and will be printing it anyway!

Mine doesn't quite look like everybody else's, but I like it. Paper strip and cork arrows from TLP Storyteller files: Jan 18 & Aug 17. Arrows, dashes & dots were created from brushes.

I'm not satisfied with this final attempt but it's ok for trying and trying. I have decided that when I have time I am going to try this technique again and see if I can't do better. Challenging is sure was!!

 
I use PSE11 and can not get this. Trying :( The tutorials I've watched, just aren't basic enough and assume things are known
