I so enjoyed doing this page with Natalie Design's
"Here and Now All In One"
I started with my background paper and added the Photo of the Blue Bird I adjusted the levels on the underlying layer and the layer that the photo was on. I then made a duplicate copy of the photo and added a layer mask which I used to hide some of the background of the photo. I placed the elements on the page and added a paint stroke from the collection, finally I added my journaling, using the Candara Font.
