Fix-It-Friday: Beauty

So I have never really done a fix-it-friday before! I am excited to enter. I wasn't even going to enter, I was just going to play around with the picture and see what I can do since I consider myself pretty ameture when it comes to photo editing. I have learned everything i know so far by watching tutorials on youtube.com

Fix-It-Fridays are all about photo editing. Iheartsfaces.com will post a BEFORE picture and a few contributers will share a few different ways they decided to edit the picture. If you are just someone browsing or following the site, you are also welcome to share your editing skills. Well hopefully someone enjoys mine as much as I do this week.

This is the before picture of a beautiful little girl. Upon looking at this picture I immediately thought wedding. I wasnt sure what I wanted to do with the girl yet but I knew I wanted to mess around with the background.

Newho, I downloaded a bunch of new brushes, thanks to the resource page on I ♥ faces and decided to play around with a few. Since she had a flower in her hand and I just downloaded the floral brushes I decided to just mess around a little. I originally wanted the flowers to be a part of the brick but then when i took out the brick altogether it looked way better. I sampled a color from her dress for the mai background color and chose shades of purple for the flowers since the flower she is holding is purple. Then to me she looks as though she could be a little princess daydreaming about her future prince, hence where I got the idea to write DAYDREAM and the quote "Once upon a time there was a prince..." When I was done I realized I didnt really have to do anything to her picture. I just changed the contrast slightly and that's it. I think it's perfect how it is.

After I finished I was amazed at how good it turned out. At least to me. Hopefully you all think so too!
