Oh Happy Day

As I was leaving the convenience store the moody sky struck me, so I stopped and took a snap. Every once in awhile, I like taking nothing kind of photos like this. Its scenes you see everyday and just ignore as you pass through the same location. Like background noise you tune out.

Photo: Mine

Notes: Creating 5 rectangles with the Shape Tool, adding a drop shadow and clipping a copy of the photo to each rectangle, I played around with the placement until I was satisfied. I chose artsy paper 4 for the background. Underneath the clipping sets I brought in the overlay and clipped a solid paper to it, changing the color of the paper to match the sky of the photo. Directly over the overlay/paper set, I added art strokes and a word art transfer along with the title.

Over the photo I added the cool glow and using a layer mask, brushed away the part of the glow that overlapped the building. I added the dimensional elements to the left side of the photo, warping the clip shadow a bit. On the right side I added a tape and blended to Linear Burn.

The birds were added to the mix along with the paper texture, which finished the page.
So very cool! Love how you added the rectangles to give dimension. You're right, how we pass by "everyday" things and they too deserve an artsy page to be made. Sometimes they turn out far more exciting than a planned scene, like this one did. Bravo!
 
Love the blended rectangles and how they add depth to the page! It's the everyday things that we should remember! Gorgeous!
 
Oh, I love how the cool glow bursts from the mountain range into the 'torn' moody sky filled with birds! So creative, Barbara!
