I planted a wildflower garden. It grew bountifully with various types of flowers. I took pictures at the end of July, thinking I would take more pictures later. Next time most blooms were spent. Harvesting seeds will be my next activity. 27 August 2022
“Why do they not teach you that time is a finger snap and an eye blink, and that you should not allow a moment to pass you by without taking joyous, ecstatic note of it, not wasting a single moment of its swift, breakneck circuit?” – Pat Conroy

Construction: I started with the Ephemeral Artsy Layered Template, deleting most of the frames. I kept 2 stacked frames, rotating them to a vertical direction, and clipped my bee photo to the masks. I moved almost all the layers to the right.
I used ArtPlay Palette Ephemeral Solid Paper #1 for the background, overlaid with a duplicate at Soft Light blend mode to lighten.
I place the Ephemeral FotoBlendz Overlays 19 #4 and clipped my the flower image to the fotoblendz layer. I placed the Fotoblendz between several of the template layers. I added ArtPlay Palette Ephemeral Lace transfer and brushes in various places.
I placed MultiMedia Flowers No. 13 #2 just to the left of the frames and added a flower extraction from the fotoblendz photo to the bouquet. I deleted the pick butterfly and added the bee charm from MultiMedia Flowers No. 13 #4.
I added the title Ephemeral WordART Mix No. 1 word art “Life is Short”, duplicating it coloring it white and offsetting with a drop shadow. The font for the text is Baskerville Old Face.
