Inspiration-I wanted to try one of the Pages that Anna deconstructed from the Aa Session 2/6 so I opened the PDF 10 Ways to Frame. I looked at some of the examples and start looking at my supplies to see what might work with some of the ideas and fell on Artys Layered Template 100 and looked at No. 5 but then as usual happens I started doing my own things but still a little inspired by the page.
Start – Artsy template 100
Photos – I added the focal photo to all the mask layers of the frames and attached using Layer>Create Clipping Mask. I have pictures I have attached keywords sky and clouds. I put one picture over a sort of paper tissue I erased parts that weren’t over the tissue and changed the Blend Mode to Darker Color. I needed to do some color adjustments with Ctrl>U. I put another copy of the sky picture over the top frame because the picture there was of plain blue sky. I again had to adjust the color with Ctrl>U. I placed another cloud picture over the paint layer attaching it with Layer>Create clipping Mask.
Elements – I used Multimedia Heart 2.2 over the big sky picture.
Words – Used the wood word “Light up the Sky” for the title. Then I put three stanzas of the Lighthouse by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow which is about the lighthouse in the picture.
