I like the wrinkles in the background of the other one but I like the pearls better in this one. Have you tried just using a white background and then adding a texture in photoshop after the fact? I have a couple of images in my project that I have done that with.
@k1w1 thanks Christine, I like the wrinkes as well in the other one as well, I have been playing with backgrounds, both were taken with cream background and then I added texture in photoshop....slowly getting the hang of adding the texture and if really does make a difference, you are able to lift the whole photo. Hopefullly by the end of the month I will get it right......lol
