Taking a break from my family vacation album to document a new knitting project using the fabulous Fiber collection. (Discounted for a limited time AND includes bonus pack when purchased by August 23 https://www.oscraps.com/shop/ArtPlay-Fabric-Collection.html)

I began by randomly selecting an Artsy Paper (#4) and placing the blanket photo atop. I experimented with several blend modes, but wound up leaving the photo on “normal” and blending it into the contours of the background with layer-masking and an artsy brush instead. For texture, I then added the bonus paper from the Collection and changed Artsy Paper #4 to multiply blend mode. I then slipped the photo of my grandson under the blanket photo, using overlay blend mode. Rather than brush-blending the sharp edge of that photo, I imported a mask from the Fiber Fotoblendz, duplicated and clipped the photo, and that blended off the edge. I added the WordART, a multimedia element, and a rusty hinge. I pretty much always finish off a layout with a selection of transfers/overlays from the artplay palette, so that is what I did here.
