Inspiration – I am not able to bear weight on my right leg after my operation and won’t be for a couple of weeks. So photo rides are out of the question. So I have been reviewing some very old pictures. This is from a trip to Niagara when my husband was still alive.
Start – File>New 12x12 300
Paper – Put Solid Paper 1 over the background layer
Mask – MultiLayered Fotoblendz 7.4 I placed on the page and applied blend mode Darker Color
Photo – Added the photo above the mask and used Layer>Create clipping mask. I duplicated the photo and applied Bend Mode Color Burn to it.
Transfer – Placed Transfer 8 above and behind the photos. I duplicated the transfer and flipped it vertical. Then I applied a mask and removed part of the transfer so it didn’t look like a duplicate. I also removed some of both copies from under the photos so the blue didn’t show through. Then added Artsy Transfer 3 behind and below the photos. Reduced the opacity to 75% plus added a mask again to remove some under the picture so the colors wouldn’t show though.
Elements – Created a title cluster with two copies of the daisy, the heart, the watch and the ribbon. I used Ctrl U to change the color. Put Urban stitches 13.14 over the stem of one of the daisy.
Brushes – Put Around the Clock 2.7 under the cluster. Then I put Brus 2 over the transfer to add a little texture
Words – Added the wood words The and View which I used CTRL I on. Then used the word transfer to fill a gap between the photo and the edge of the paper.
