Inspiration – My desire to try something new.

Start -New File – File>New 12x12 300

Artsy Kardz- I took all the Artsy cards (jpeg versions) and placed over the background. I then combined all layers by selecting all the Artsy Kardz layers and then hitting Ctrl-Alt-Shift-E to make a composite layer. I then turned over the Artsy Kards layers. The composite layer was set to an opacity of 50%.

Paper – Solid Paper 4 was placed above the composite layer with a saturation mode set to Saturation and opacity of 58%

Photos – The photo of the flowering branch with a added above the paper and set to a blend mode of Darker Color. I extracted the gold finch and butterfly using the object selection tool. I recolored the butterfly with Ctrl U.

Transfer- The doily was put below the branch.

Brushes – Used Paper Transfer 15.3 and 15.6 to frame the branch.

Title – Typed spring and used the wood word Time for the title.

Elements – Placed the White Flower from APP Anaphora which I duplicated and the Pink ribbon from Oscraps Falling From you. Later I decided to recolor the ribbon to yellow using Ctrl U. This gave me three yellow items to form a visual triangle.
