Inspiration – I thought a photo of the Toucan went with the bright colors of the mini palette Beau which is free with a purchase of $20 or more.
Start – Artsy Layered Template Manyly. I turned off many of the layers. I selected part of the trans and on a new layer filled the selection with 50% gray. The transfer to act as a mask.
Paper – I used Artsy Papers 4 and on top of that Solid Paper 4 with a blend mode of color burn.
Frames – Used multimedia frames 10.3 over the middle frame and rotated the other two.
Photos – Added three photos to the mask layer of the frames using Layer>Create Clipping Mask. A picture of the sign was attached in the same manner as the mask layer I created.
Elements – Added the flag and the sunglasses above the frame layer.
Brushes -Brush 16 was placed above the photo frames.
Title- I used wordart Stay Connected to the left side for the title.
Journaling - My husband loved trains. When we took road trips I researched whether there were any train rides in the areas we would visit. So when we were going to go visit my girlfriend in Pennsylvania and she suggested Steam Town as a possible visit for us I was excited. It brought up lots of memories of my husband. He would have loved all the trains you could look at and ride it.
I added drop shadows where necessary.
