Process: I started with a solid paper from ArtPlay Palette Party. I placed transfers, brushes and elements set to different blend modes over and built up the background. I added the photo and erased some parts with an inverted mask. I did three copies, all set to different blend modes and opacity. I went back and erased part of the transfers and brushes where these overlaped the photo to much. I had also to go back to the photo layers a couple of times to erase because I moved around the transfers and got effects I wanted to get rid of. The boys face got burned out with all the blend modes I used, so I solved it with a transfer with the colors yellow/red placed over his face, tried all blend modes and when I got what I was looking for, I changed the opacity and erased the unnecessary. I also added an adjustment layer for Hue/Saturation to have the same color as the girls faces. I went back and did copies of some transfers and placed these a top of the page and changed the blend modes so I got more saturation. I finished the page with elements from FadedWords Celebrate No. 1, JazzedUp LoopDaLoop No 5 and MultiMedia Balloons No 2.
