CHRISTMAS COMPOSITE/RECYCLING IMAGES!

I recently did an image for this year's Christmas season that is soon approaching. After uploading it I realized it could have another life or two left in it to create something new!  Here is the original image:
It's nice as it is but I found this image different and fun to do and this is how I created  image no.2.
I masked out the background and enlarged the height of the image to accommodate the new background.

I added an image of red curtains and duplicated the layer for more of a curtain feeling. In the last back layer I then added a red bokeh background and added some sparkle brushes in a separate layer and set the layer to "Color Dodge". That's it and here is the finished Image!! :)

  1. What a great tip. If you don't mind I'm sharing this on my Vintage Lovers page on Facebook. Great way to recycle photos (for gifts perhaps) and useful photo tips.
