Thanks aubintbay

I'm not sure that I like that frilly metal clasp thingy on it or the edges of the book showing ... I think I will be redoing this without the metal thing and I'll make the texture layer the same shape as my photo .... I had to crop a bit off the right side of my photo to fit it on the leather book ... and I'm kinda missing that little bit of space .... I'm just learning how to do these , so it's all trail and error , but Im enjoying it .

I think I tend to agree with you on the metal clasp. Other than that I really like the texture processing you did.

Ohhhh - these purists. They never understand, that we just have to test all the options and all the trail and error is the fun for it ;-). I like your picture - the leather texture fits well.

Thankyou asnow Glad you agree... I'll defenately be reworking this one and getting rid of that clasp .

[Donna]

Thank you MoinMoin Yes it's fun and good to get into PP and start creating ... something I haven't been doing enough of for a long time .

[Donna]

I just did a quick cloning job to see how it looks without the Bling

I like the texture a lot! But then it is a very good photo on its own as well!
