Just So You Know

People make jokes about Seattle being the rainiest city in the country. Well, those jokes are not based on truth. Its unbearable for other reasons. Traffic, traffic, traffic . . . endless snarled traffic.

Notes: Using artsy paper 1 as the foundation and bringing in the photo and using an AnnaBlendz brush on a layer mask, I brushed away what I didnt want and blended the photo to Darken. A transfer was placed over the photo at the upper right corner and blended to Color Burn and at the bottom right edge is another transfer. The paper texture was added to the bottom to help disguise an ugly building at the base of the Space Needle.

At the top, just to the right of the photo the Number FotoBlendz was added and solid paper 4 was clipped to it. The mask is blended to Color Burn. The word art title and list of rainy cities is over it. More word art, recolored to white was added to the left side of the page. MultiMedia Rain were added over these layers.

Brushes from the kit was added as well as the boxed art stroke around the last city on the list. The circles were made with the Elliptical Marquee tool and given a white stroke. The dimensional elements were added to finish the page.
Oh man, Barbara!!!!!! You let the secret out! Now people are going to start flocking here and the traffic is going to get even worse and the cost of living is going to skyrocket again and there will be no parking outside of our own garages and...and...and....

Don't even KNOW how I can give you a standing O on this betrayal!

Oh my! I love this. So its raining in Indianapolis today and tonight to give us those 42 of rain. This year it will probably be more. This is such an amazing layout. Wonderful and so artsy! Congrats on the Standing O!
 
FYI: the ugly building...what to call the colorful blob at the base of the Space Needle. For the fifth time in its 16-year history, the museum founded by Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen has undergone a name change and will now be called the Museum of Pop Culture, or MoPOP

Personal note: Our daughter got married at the midway level of the Space Needle over 19 years ago. We call the Space Needle the Wedding Chapel!
 
Congrats on the well deserved Standing O! Love the blend of cityscape and transfers.
