Tulip

A long-time dead tulip and a very old blouse.

I've been hanging on to this tulip, life got a bit too interesting to blip it at its best point of fading, but never mind.

I've been having a look at the textures that PS provides but they are very blocky and I couldn't find anything I wanted to use without a lot of adaptation so..... I got out a blouse I've had for over 40 years and photographed it to give me a  background.

The benefit of using a separate background image is that it can be adjusted independently of the main image for colour and brightness.
