For the AnnaColor Challenge
I had the perfect photo, then worked for a couple of days to get a composition I liked ;-)
Blended the rose-on-the-beach photo with FotoBlendz Overlays (+ brushes) then added a copy of the photo in Linear Dodge, reverse masked, and brushed in the rose only (to brighten it).
Background was created with *Coming Soon* ArtPlay Handmade, plus Transfers from ArtPlay Ocean Cove, Sea Life and Beach.
Suggested ArtPlay Palette Ablaze provided the perfectly-colored stem to "branch" to the next page, where I added another photo (tumbled beach seaweed), again using FotoBlendz Overlays, with a second copy of the photo in Linear Dodge.
Sea Sprinklez, Strings, Buttons and Splatters form visual triangles.
I wanted to include the Color Challenge swatch somewhere, so added it to a frame, just for fun.
The last thing I added, besides journaling, was a visual triangle of titles/words, using gradients on them.
Oh the upper right, where I extended the photo, that's a transfer from ArtPlay SeaLife.
