Default Looking for creators to make PSD Flower Templates

I have found a layered flower template from Connection Keeping, would love to see more of them. I have such a hard time with just recoloring flowers from kits.

Can you post the link to that template? I looked through her shop and didn't find a flower template. Thanks!

I don't typically recolor elements.

I don't do it a lot, but sometimes I want to get a flower to match an item in a photo. The rest of the kit can be perfect, but I just need one change.

Thank you for posting the link. I saw that, but I didn't realize what it was. I don't use a lot of flowers, but when I need to recolor them (or anything, really), I always have my layout enlarged to show the color I want. Then I open up Enhance -Adjust Color - Adjust Hue/Saturation and start moving the bars around. By having the color on my layout open, I can see if the recoloring is the right color. Hope this helps!

If you're going to find these, they're typically going to be in the Commercial Use section of a shoppe, where they've been created for designers to use in building their kits. I've absolutely been known to buy CU products and use them to supplement my layouts when I don't have the perfect element or flower.

I would point you also to the CU section. But recoloring can be an art-form learned from years of practice and some colors are harder to achieve than others. I think you would be shocked at the number of steps I sometimes take to achieve the look I want.

I usually recolor something from the kit with a color layer or a hue layer with a color picked from the page or photo I have. But I have Photoshop CC and I don't know what you can do for PSE or other programs.
Doesn't work well with everything but it's a start and I guess you need to tweak things.

The thing is that I usually scrap as a CT member so I try to restrain myself to the kit I have to scrap without bringing anything new from somewhere else, hense the recoloring of what is in the kit if necessary. And I just write in my credits that I did recolor something.

Maybe this can help?
I'm very visual and I like that she has previews of what it does. I don't read much lol lol

I do struggle with recoloring and was looking for an easy way out.
