I always stop for gladiolas - they remind me of my favorite aunt who had gladiolas at her house. The wisteria is from my house - it is having a riotous summer blooming (and then needs serious pruning before it buries the house).
ArtPlay Ikigai Collection
Ikigai Bouns Paperie in Lumosity mode placed over a Solid Paper, with Transfers added for texture.
Framed Mask used for the gladiola photo, with the photo duplicated behind and set to Hard Light at reduced opacity.
On the right I placed a photo of my wisteria bloom and used a Mask and Eraser to blend it onto the column.
MultiMedia embellishments added, with some Hue/Saturation color changes.
I used the Feruci font to create some custom play-on-word titles, with Stroke and Drop Shadow.
WOW this is one of my favs of your pages, love how those flowers get such prominent exposure - awesome background! love how you used the font for the titles! fantastic!
