Pixel Perfect's Before/After Blog Hop

I am just in love with this picture.  I love all things vintage and antique, and well, pretty!  So this week's Before and After I chose to do something different than people, so here is a picture of a framed picture of my husband's grandma on her wedding day.

To edit...

I opened the picture up in CS3.  I adjusted the curves setting to lighten the image as well as adjust the colors remove some of the yellow because I knew the textures I wanted to use had yellow tinting in them.  Then I used two of Florabella's textures to add the effect.  I did removed the texture from the pendant using Gaussian Blur tool to make the pendant stand out.

It is a simple photo but I love it!  To view other amazing photos, check out Monica's Before and After Blog Hop here.
