I ♥ Faces: Fix it Friday

I don’t usually do extractions. Too fiddly for me. I like templates and quick stuff. But this little girl needed to be a fairy in a magical wonderland.

Here’s the original:

And here’s my edit:

I ♥ Faces Fantasy final WEB

Background picture is by me from Callaway Gardens; Wings: Obsidian Dawn; Lens Flare from PSE5; Texture by PIF_Joy. I had a lot of fun with this one!

If you want to play, head on over to I ♥ Faces and download the original for yourself! Or check out all the other edits. That's what I'm going to do!

When I read you description (before I saw the photo) I thought it would be corny. It definitely is not. How very cool! The wings truly look a part of her. The sun flare adds to the whimsical feel. And, I'm so impressed how you realistically added to her dress which was cut off from the vase. Very impressive!

I totally thought the same, that it would be corny too... But WOW! you surprised me. This is fantastic. Beautiful. Really.

I would LOVE to see that little girls face when she sees this picture! It's so fun and lovely and whimsical. Great job on the dress.

P.S. I've seen other fairy-type enhanced photos, but they all look really corny and cartoon-y. THIS is lovely.
