So new and so fresh - FotoInspired Template Pack 3C!
I cannot overemphasize the power of play, experimenting, and accidents - most of what is good here was an accident.
The story was running across my kids at the local lagoon, and snapping a photo as they approached the fence. Used MySketch to turn this into a sketch, and chose a page from FotoInspired 3C with a large vertical mask (page 12).
ANother copy of the photo was clipped to a mask behind the photo, then a different photo with colored umbrellas blended over this (Overlay mode) with some additional blue brushwork.
A third photo of the crowded beach was placed underneath in Overlay mode to create a diagonal.
Then I placed MM and Framed photo and elements to create an opposite diagonal.
Warm glows added for color. When I went to color the mermaid charm element, I forgot to clip it and the color over the whole page was the ticket!
