We were tasked with creating an image quotation.  I selected a free image from Pexels.com and placed it.  I then applied the Crosshatch filter and adjusted the stroke until it really popped the foreground foliage and highlighted the light filtering through the fibers of her skirt.  Next, I added a shape layer holding shift on the Elliptical Tool to create a perfect circle with a tan dotted line border and 13% opacity through the center.  I placed it over the sunshine to help define it a bit.  And lastly, I used a few new layers for text.  The quote is in Iowan Old Style, and the quote credit is Arial Narrow.

My husband tells me this quote reminds him of me.  I love it.  It inspires me to keep being adventurous and dreaming big!
