Inspiration – I am preparing for my aA Project 2023 which has me looking at old photos so I thought to do a page with my mother and myself.
Start – File>New 12x12 300
Paper – I placed Solid Paper 5 over the background.
Mask – Used the larger mask layer from Relative Fotoblendz 2 and turned off the other layers. I had to erase some of the areas where it extended beyond the frame.
Photos – I used a picture of my mother taken in a park in Canada and a picture of myself from 2015. I think we are about the same age in both pictures but my mother may be younger.
Transfers – Put Leaves 1 and 2 around my mother's picture and Transfer 5 under the picture and MM frame. I adjusted the colors of Leaves 1 so I had a visual triangle with the green color.
Elements – MM Trees 1.3 so that the frame lined up to frame my mother's picture. I took some leaves from the Multimedia Trees and also added the Oakleaf Branch over the frame.
Brush – Put Brush 3 below the transfers in a green but darker than the triangle green. Added an artstroke in white and a splatter in white.
Words – Typed the words an explanation of the pictures.
Title – Used the wordart Roots and Wings which I duplicated and ligthened the original to give more substance.
