I Heart Faces Fix-It Friday #42

So I’m very new to I heart faces, but I’m really liking it! I decided to get in on the “Fix-It Friday” challenge and try my hand at “fixing” the provided photo:

And here’s my version:

Photoshop was my tool of choice. I wanted the snowman to appear sort of “magical”, so I started by isolating it and giving it an inner glow, outer glow, and color overlay. I then isolated the girl from the background and applied an inner and outer glow for her as well. I then used the Vibrance adjustment to make her face a lot more saturated in color.

The hardest part was developing the texture for the background. I was going for a whimsical/wintry look. I ended up using the Clouds and Fiber rendering effects.

    Thanks! I look forward to more of those weekly meal plans over at Living Locurto. I don’t have any children yet but am always looking for ideas for quick and easy meals to prepare during the week!
