Inspiration – When I am short on time which seems to happen a lot lately I use what I think of as KISS method. Which basically means I try to keep things as simple as possible.
Start – Create a new file – File>New 12X12X300
Paper – APP Vie Solid Paper 5 moved on the page over the background,
Mask – Used FotoBlendz Overlay 16.4
Photo – Attached the Photo to the mask using Layer>Create Clipping Mask. I also used the rush on the mask to help bring out some of the photo areas.
Transfer – Placed Transfer behind the photo and mask. I helped contain the subject of my photo.
Elements – Added Multimedia Branch 14.3 over the photo matching the angle of the wood my niece was cutting.
Brush – Put two copies of artstroke Brush 10 on the page at different sizes.
Word Art – Placed word art “Wisdom begins in Wonder” for my title – the scrolling font matched the artstrokes and Urban thread wrapped around the branch.
