Touch-Up Tuesday

I  had so many great responses from the Scrabble photos I uploaded! Scrabble is just so classic—I love seeing pictures of the pieces.


SOOC:





Edit:


What I did: Boosted the brightness and ran a contrast layer to make the black on the letters more defined. Then I ran PW's "colorized" action and dropped the opacity down a bit. Once I had the photo at a place I liked, I gave it some texture (not sure where I found that particular texture!) and dropped its opacity down. 


I'm really happy with the way it turned out—it's soft and romantic, perfect for Valentine's Day!
