nancy donaldson again provided some textures to play with… so far i enjoyed making the following samples, (click to enlarge):



all these are made in a similar way: using the photo, texture(s) from nancy + scan from a botanical book.
if interested, you can find my “recipes” below:

original photo cropped a little
texture 2 from nancy donaldson (crackle structure) at blending mode soft light 100% – layer mask to erase the seed
scanned image (from a botanical book) layered with blending mode darken + adjustment layer to make it more black
frame from shadowhousecreations (black vintage mask) set at multiply
text added with fonts mythbusters + pea terri cherie
