Inspiration – The current Classic Collection is Downtown and when I looked for pictures, I saw these birdhouses from the Portland Flower Show; thus, a plan emerged.
Start –New>File 12X12 300.
Paper – APP Downtown Artsy paper 3 was placed over the background layer.
Photos – I extracted the birdhouses, water, boat, and train and created a small town.
Transfers – Placed Artsy Transfer Downtown 1 on the right edge of the water to enclose the water and give something for the train to travel over.
Elements – Used Multimedia Melancholy 1.1 and Multimedia Birds 1.2 for citizens of the town.
Title –Used Downtown Wordart 1.4.
Brushes – added Downtown Brushes 4, 10 and 15.
I added drop shadows where necessary.
