Heart Stopping

"so how many times can amanda possibly use that heart?"---you may be asking yourself. lol! well... i'm not sure... i've never had a heart that i liked before, and now that i do, i seem to be a bit out of control with it. lol. oh well. anyway... hubby caught this shot of alyssa the other day... but the b/g was full of the vans and cars and for sale signs that make up our neighborhood, so had to play with it a little. **i'm not usually good at extracting, and that hasn't changed now. lol. but in this case, i did it this way. i first blended the picture onto the paper and changed the blending mode to VIVID LIGHT and reduced the opacity to around 50%. then, i used a circle eraser with a very soft edge and simply erased around her (i zoomed in about 200% to make sure it all blended nicely.) then i duplicated the layer and changed the blending mode to SOFT LIGHT and kept the opacity at around 50%. This just brightened up the colors a bit and made her a little more "visible". As usual... this wasn't planned... lol... it was very much trial and error and took me like an hour to get it to where i liked it. :)
