This page was not in my Project 2023 plan, but it just popped out! Of course that means I may not be half-way done anymore ;-)
This is one of my free-form blocked design styles that evolved into the use of Travel Templates so it would have consistency with the rest of the pages.
What this means is I placed all the photos then dealt with each one - framing, backing with Kardz, or just adding a Stroke and Drop Shadow.
Background is a combination of several palettes I am using - Vagary, Jollification and Alfresco. Elements from the same palette plus Paraiso. The color palettes were downloaded from the internet, and on the upper right one I substituted a photo of Oz in the pool.
Added ArtsyKardz, brushes (palm trees and postage), elements all over the place - one element is an extraction from the railings at our pier.
