I took a little breather from this project, but I'm back at it and getting anxious to finish. I have two more letters, intro page and conclusion page to finish. After the final BONUS session Tuesday, I tried Anna's technique with Artsy Transfers in the background. I will revisit other pages to do the same. Also, I have already checked/fixed some of my 'lost in space' clusters that she talked about in the session. I'm wondering how did I not know this already?
Page 4 of the Template Album was placed on the left side of the double layout. Photos, map, and artsy transfers were clipped to the small frames. Solid Paper 4 was placed below the template layers. The fotoblendz was filled with a light color to match the paper and text was placed within the fotoblendz. Stains, paper textures, etc. were filled with dark gray with various blend modes. Embellished with elements, multimedia, glows, paper texture, stains, splatters, paint and spackle. Finished with title and journaling.
