Tinsel Artplay Palette and Holiday WordART, part of the **new release** coming tomorrow
The main street of Hudson, NY, closes down one night each year for the City Walk. 20,000 people come to stroll, eat, shop...and do impromtu street performances.

I blended two photos into the dark Artsy Paper in the Palette...using regular layer-masking for Santa and inverted masking for the photo of the pink Christmas tree in the shop window. I disguised the break with a frame, duplicated on screen mode and blended away at the edges. I stamped on a few brushes/transfer/overlays from the Artplay Palette and fiddled with colors for balance, then added a bunch of the Palette's fun embellishments. Because the layout had gotten incredibly busy even for me, I then merged all the layers and moved the composition to a new blank canvas, where I was able to center it on Solid Paper #5 for some teal breathing space.
