I've reached the mid point of the year, and my book is pretty full, so I've chosen an end point and created an end page for Part 1.
Took this photo of daylilies in my neighborhood.
Artistry all from the NEW ArtPlay Plage Collection.
To blend the large photo, I used FotoBlendz Overlays 19 No 4, duplicating it about 5-6 times and adding (via brushes) and subtracting (via eraser) until I got the coverage I wanted. I also filled the FotoBlendz with red so any edges seem to blend. Stains and textures also colored red.
Added Transfers Textures and Brushes from APP Plage.
Title is from Beach Word Art, with "sea" changed to "See" (font Best Lady). Copy of title filled with white, nudged and shadowed.
Added Sea Sprinklez, recoloring the teal shell to pink.
Created a custom text box to fill the area.
