A photo from the 1940's in the town I grew up in. When I was a little girl, I thought the parade went through the town on May 1st, was only because it was my birthday. My parents said not the truth to me what I remember and I was probably around 6-7 years old when I understood how it really was. A lovely memory it is, in any case!

Process: I started with a solid paper from ArtPlay Palette Antiquity and set it as the background. I began with another photo so the foundation I built up here was nearly finished when I changed my mind and deleted the first photo. Instead of starting all over again after hours of work, I decided to keep the foundation and placed the second photo on top of the layers. I added a mask and used the Gradient Tool and some brushes to blend it with the underlying layers. I also added more brushes and used a lot of adjustment layers before I merged all layers. I did a copy of the merged layer and added two adjustment layers: Photofilter and Color Balance. Then I finished the page by blending these two layers together.
