Cravings

Because I love photography and I have this craving to try and learn all I can I decided this week that I would put a valiant effort into learning to use photoshop actions.
I have never used actions before, but after seeing Florabella Actions used at the Delicate Impressions workshop I attended a few weekends ago, I started to have one of my "I've got to learn to do that" cravings (these cravings upset my husband, they usually end up with me buying something crazy).
So I purchased the actions... all of them, and all of the textures as well (telling my husband that I NEEDED them ALL) ... and immediately got to work trying them out, mixing and matching different colours and textures and overlays, and I came up with this.
Here is the original...

And the after. I think this is pretty funky. 

I had a lot of fun doing this, and it is really helping me to learn even more about layers in photoshop. 
I'm going to keep playing and see what else I can come up with, but this time I'll write down each step (I totally don't even remember what I did to get this result, lol)

Cheers!
Katie
