At one point during the month, I really wasn't sure I would ever get my layout completed for this challenge ... but as DH is away this weekend, I've had the house to myself and I've indulged my passions and had a BLAST playing around with the filters! Are you ready for the list of actions I took to get this effect? Hold on tight ...

Step1 - Run Pioneer Woman's Set 1 B&W conversion action
Step2 - Run the Dry Brush Artistic Filter (using brush size 5, brush detail 0 and texture 2)
Step3 - Run the Texturiser Filter (using canvas, scaling 200%, relief 2 and light direction top)
Step4 - Blend image with a paper and set blend mode to linear light
Step5 - Add gradient overlay to the WA
Step6 - Add WA sticker and floral element
Step7 - Voila ... page completed!!!

Thanks for looking.
