If you are cold, tea will warm you;
if you are too heated, it will cool you;
If you are depressed, it will cheer you;
If you are excited, it will calm you.
~ William Gladstone



Process

Beginning with an Artsy paper from the palette. I added my photo created a sketch effect created an inverse layer mask and using brushes from the APP ( nos 12 and 7) I blended the photo back then clipped it to a transfer.

I duplicated the photo three times clipping it to the transfer adding various blending modes.

Various brushes were then added around and under the photo to support the main photo.

A frame was applied then I applied an edge overlay and recoloured it by clipping a brush layer to the overlay then clicking command on the overlay layer to get marching ants then brushing colour onto the clipped layers. (brush No 17)

I then recoloured a flower using brush No 11 to create a distressed look.

A tag was used to add a some journaling.

Finally I added some embellishments a quote and a title.

Thanks for looking
