Ornate Book Cover

I came across an incredibly ornate antique book cover to share with you. I ran it through Photoshop to mess around with colors. There’s so many possibilities with such a pretty piece. Enjoy!

I got a beautiful book at an auction over the summer and wondered what I could do with it. It's really, really old! I think I'll scan mine for everyone to enjoy too. I don't know how to change it with PS, maybe someday I'll learn that feature. I'll send you a note when I get it done, as it will be a few days before I have the time. (plus remembering WHERE I put it! lol) I always enjoy your post! Thanks for sharing as usual! Hugs~Stacey

Cathe, this book is lovely. I would love to know how you changed the colors from purple to green etc. I can't remember from my photoshop classes. That happens when you get old...lol
Thank you,
Sharon

Wonderful colors! Such a detailed piece.
Thought I would pop on by and make sure your coping okay, keeping yourself busy with work I think is a good way to cope. Take care.

Stunning!!

People Who Know Me Would Say: said...

This is over-the-top gorgeous, yet somehow just the right amount of handsome as well.

You would laugh your butt off if you could see the file on my hard drive that is filled solely with all your generously shared and masterfully created works of art. Can I do anything with them? OF COURSE NOT! I am not THAT person.
That being said, I have a new approach I'm going to try: begging. ;)

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE make me one! (OOPS- forgot to preface this by saying I will pay for any and all things I beg for...."Buying" -that's what I do.
