Done for the January 2022 AnnaLift - My inspiration from
Life is a Story: 1930 Road Trip by NanaJ were the multiphotos and the larger blended photo.
Process:
I grouped all of the artsy layers from the template together, except for the top photo mask, and clipped my background photo to the combined layers, using a miscellaneous brush to give more fill and definition. To add more red to the background, I used the different layers from the artsy transfer, changing some of the layers to the color I picked from the woodpecker's head.
Journaling reads: I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the red-bellied woodpeckers enjoying themselves at my feeders this winter. They not only are hanging out at the suet feeder, but the bird seed feeders, too! And I have been able to get clear pictures of both the male and female. The female looks as though she has a receding hairline!
