The Process
I began with a neutral background paper from AP Artsy. Using a mask from Watercolor FotoBlendz 1, I duplicated it and then rotated it to make the mask fuller. I merged these layers together. Then I clipped my photo to the mask and duplicated it and changed the blending mode to hard light (also reduced the opacity of this layer). I merged these layers and placed the photo on the MultiMedia Art layer. I placed a frame, a warm glow and watercolor drips behind the photo. Then the fun began. Loved searching for the perfect elements to enhance my page! I layered in buttons, arrows, signs, tapes, stitches, and word art.
