My mother, Carol Ann (2nd from right), early 50’s, just a few years before she married. She always lit up the room.

I started with Artsy Paper 4. The group photo, with some adjustments, was clipped to the fotoblendz with a blue gradient (blend mode Soft Light, 53% Opacity). The MultiMedia Document was placed, some layers above and some layers below the photo group along with elements from the palette. The Artsy Transfer (rotated, some layers moved), Word Art (drop shadow, stroke) and title were placed. I added the second photo, extracted, with a Luminosity blend mode, a cool glow behind, the birds transfer and some layers of the MultiMedia Stars. Finished with journaling.
