Wanted to try this technique with brushes and layers like some of the other members have done so this is what happened. LOL.
Another tremendously long editing process.
Sorry for the rampant stereotyping. I just had the dress and it kind of progressed from there...
-NI cut myself out
-Added 2 backgrounds blened behind me (internet photos)
-Added all the designs by using brushes I made from photos on the internet
-Colorized to sepia
- erased around the edges
-dodged and burned to add aging affect
-add noise
-drop shadow
