I'm taking Kim Klassen's Skinny Mini course and OMG it is awesome!  Today I had so much fun playing around with textures and blending modes and stuff...

Here's the before:


And here's the after:


Here's what I did:  I made two duplicates of the background layer,and set the blending mode on the first one to soft light, and the second one at screen.  Then I added Kim's "silent night texture" and set that blending mode to soft light as well.  Then I duplicated the texture and turned the opacity of the second texture layer to 30%.

I LOVE how this turned out.  What do you think?
