Page process-
The WatercolorTree brush was clipped to a paper and both were resized and the foundation for the ART design began from there.
Multiple brushes and transfers were layered above and below and around the trees to create texture and depth.
Several of the brushes were recolored the color of the background and then the multiple blending mode was applied. This created a soft and subtle and somewhat shadow feel to the brush. Several times the same brush was then duplicated and rotated and simply layered and tucked within the design to build up the texture and layers around the trees.
The MultiMedia Holiday kit comes as psd which allows to us individual layers of the MultiMedia. The MM4_3C is the perfect png layer for SNOW covering the trees so this png was duplicated multiple times to layer up snow on the tree branches.
WordART was resized and blended into the design. The Joyeus Noel was recolored the color of the background. The multiple blending mode applied and the opacity decreased to create the soft shadow effect.
The cluster of WordART with the MultiMedia branch and cinnamon sticks and UrbanStichez and other elements was created to add some 3D illusion next to the watercolor trees. Bows were resized and added to dress up the simple trees.
A glow from the MultiMedia psd was added and the color burn blending mode was applied which added another layer of depth.
The crease overlay from the Frames included in the AP Joyeux was resized and used as a distressed edge overlay to add more texture to the ART.
It was nice to play and blend and then play and blend some more in creating the ChristmasBlessing ART!
thanks for looking.wishing you ChristmasBlessings. Donna
