Text Reads: I had never seen a mountain peony. It shone so brightly against the dark forest background that it could have been a star. Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden May 21, 2022
Construction: I started with ArtPlay Palette Apothic Artsy Paper #2. I positioned FotoBlendz Overlays No. 15 #4, then clipped my altered black & white flower photo. I extracted the color version of the flower and placed on top of the fotoblendz layer.
I used the Artsy Layered Template from the Apothic bonus under the fotoblendz layer with the frames removed.
I placed one layer from ArtsyTransfers Apothic #2 on the left side using blend mode Vivid Light.
I blended word transfers Bird and Dark from Apothic WordART Mix No. 1.
For the cluster I used ArtPlay Palette Apothic elements bow, jewel and paper strip “stars can’t shine without darkness.”
On top. I placed Outdoors WordART Mix No. 2 Beaded Thread Anew.
