Timeless Treasusres

Inspiration - I was looking for the right photo to go with the reds of the Artsy Transfers of APP Tinselry and, with luck, found a picture taken at the beach this week of the iconic Red Phone Box. Even if it was a bit far from home here on the coast of Maine in the snow,
Start - With a new file
Paper - Solid Paper 2
Mask/photo - I placed Evergreen FotoBlendz 3.3 (used the png) on the page. I clipped the picture to the mask areas using Layer>Create Clipping Mask.
Artsy Layered Transfers - I added ArtsyTransferTinselry 1 and 2 to the page because I like the red to go with my phone box. Used 1 to hug the left-hand side of the photo and 2 on the left edge to create a bit of a diagonal look.
Elements - Added the Plaid Bow in the lower right-hand corner of the masked photo and turned it to match the snowbank. The bow helped conceal the dirty snow that wasn't eliminated by the mask. I placed the gold leaves under the bow. Then I selected the pixels of the gold leaves, click on the bow I erased where the bow was. I did the same with the shadow layer. This step allowed the gold leaves to look entwined with the bow. I added a word transfer over the gray building the right side and applied Blend Mode Darken to it then I added a new layer under the transfer and lightly painted white so you could see the word transfer and not the building.
Wordart- Used the Word Art "Timeless Treasures" from APP Verdue for a title
I loved how the light background makes the photo and the art to pop.
Love the connection it makes between phone and holiday season. Phone home!
 
Awesome blending job, and I'm loving the repetition of the blue on the box and in the sky. Goes great with the red.
 
Beautiful photo and page ... the colors are perfect for the textures ..Do you still see them regularly in the streets or has the cell phone almost replaced them all ...
