Happy Holidays! The male and female Varied thrush chased each other away from the bird feeder. This was a moment of calm, but they still kept an eye on one another. Could there be stress in the household due to the holidays? December 21, 2022
Construction: I started with placement of my photo of the male Varied Thrush on the ArtPlay Palette Twinkle Solid Paper #1. The photo was on a white background so to blend it with the slightly darker paper, I added a brightness adjustment layer to both layers and brushed out some areas on the photo.
I used Framed Masks No 11 #5 for the female thrush photo. I placed the lace from the ArtPlay Palette Twinkle over the top of the frame.
I placed the Silver Bells element from ArtPlay Palette Silver Bells over the top of the MultiMedia Branches No 12 #1. I added the word art “happy holidays” from ArtPlay Palette Retro Holiday for the title. I placed the lace from the ArtPlay Palette Twinkle over the top of the frame.
I used red ivy designs_WhiteChristmas_everyday_scatters_shadowed, mixed with the ArtPlay Palette Twinkle Gold Stars over the top of the frame and the photos on purpose because I liked the look simulating falling snow.
I added my text in font Pea Aubrey on the right side and the gray lines of Brush #4 from ArtPlay Palette Retro Holiday to the left for balance.
