Process
A solid paper from APP Roots was used as the foundation of the page. The photo was clipped to a horizontal fotoblendz mask, duplicated with the blending mode changed to soft light for more intensity. The photo was duplicated again and this time clipped to an Autumn Romance fotoblendz mask. This allowed more of the trees to be seen. Transfers, overlays, spackled textures were added for more depth. The Garden WordART 1 title was added. The Command key (on a Mac) and with the word art thumbnail highlighted at the same time, a selection of dancing ants was created. On a new layer several earthy colors were painted with a brush from AnnaBlendz 4 inside the selected area. On a new layer a stroke was created using the same process. The original word art layer was turned off. The page was completed by adding birds, and dimensional elements.

Thank you for looking!
