Quote is: "For bees, the flower is the fountain of life, For flowers, the bee is the messenger of love." -Kahlil Gibran
My photo is of an unknown flower at the Rhododendron Botanical Gardens, Federal Way, WA.
Construction: I used ArtPlay Palette Lateritious Solid Paper #4 for the background (flipped horizontally).
I clipped my photo to FotoBlendz Overlays No. 12 #5 (flipped). Then I proceeded to add ArtPlay Palette Lateritious brushes to fill in areas revealing parts of my photo I wanted clearer, like the bee.
I used other ArtPlay Palette Lateritious brushes (#1,2 & 5) under the FotoBlendz layer in a brown color.
I added Brush #1 in white under my extraction of the bee flower to add emphasis.
For the cluster, I modified the MultiMedia Flowers No. 9 #3 (also a part of the Veranda Collection) by cutting and moving the second bow from the left to the right. I turned off layers I didn’t use.
To finish, I added WordART Wood Word ” Love” from the BONUS in the Veranda Collection and the Quote from the internet.
