Life is busy and never enough time, but I felt the need to create something. Sat down with Annas new awesome digital pieces and a photo I took last month while visiting KC. I walked into an amazing store with some friends and one of them pointed up to this cool display of paint brushes above a table of sweaters I was looking down at. When I looked up something stirred within and I knew what I saw was way cool ART! I snapped a couple of shots. I never purchased the sweater, but LOVE what came from my friend drawing my attention to look upkinda like lifeits all right there, but often we are focused in one direction and missing out on another experience because we limit our focus. Thank goodness for our friends who point out the other views of life for us.

Page Process-
A FotoBlendz or clipping mask was created by choosing several of the brushes from the AP Portiere BrushSet and then merging all the selected brush layers together to create one layer and then clipping the photo to the new clipping mask.
The photo was duplicated several times and multiple blending modes applied as well as FotoGlows from the FotoGlow Mix No. 2 to create the artsy effect to the photo.
More brushes and transfers from AP Portiere were placed across the ART design, as well as, brushes from ArchiTextures No. 5 were utilized and recolored and the opacity tweaked to fade them into the ART design..sometimes, less is more visible in the larger picture of the ART.
WordART and WordTransfers were layered into the ART to convey the message. The cool colors in some of the wordart (and some of the random brushes) arrived on the canvas by saving the page as a jpeg and then clipping the jpeg portion of the ART page to the wordart and other brushes to add awesome pops of color that coordinate with the main photo..because it is the exact colors from the main photo!
Further unique and Artsy color in the WordArt was created by adding more layers of the FotoGlow Mix and playing with more blending modes and tweaking them.
Annas new release really deserves some PlayTime.have fun creating!
thanks for looking.donna
