The red cottage is the epitome of the Swedish idyll and is as much a place as a time where we get the opportunity to be ourselves and to meet each other.
Process: I started with an artsy paper from ArtPlay Palette Lavaliere. I placed a transfer from the APP to the left side and the blending mode was set to Color Burn. I placed my photo and added a mask to it. I inverted the mask and used the Gradient Tool and brushes to paint it back. I added adjustment layers for Levels and Curves. Then I placed the key and lock from MultiMedia Lock and Key No 1. I duplicated it and the blending mode was set to Soft Light for the copy. Then I placed a transfer from ArtsyTransfers Lavaliere along the right side. I only used a few layers and with a various of blending modes to darken this side. I finished the layout with the wordtransfer from Secret WordART Mix No 1 set to blending mode Subtract, a brush placed below the photo from Lock and Key No 1 and the tag from ArtPlay Palette Lavaliere
