Sophie and Scarlett at this year's Santa visit, Granny got to come too, and it was absolutely magical; the smaller photo is the Elf leading them to meet Santa.
Began with the darker of the Artsy papers in the collection, then added the template on top clipped the photograph to a Fotoblendz, positioned on the page, played about with the mask using a paintbrush to add depth for the figures and a soft eraser to remove some of the mask. I had this large, small, large again...it's not called ArtPlay for nothing lol! Added the second photo to the small frames erasing part of the frames to allow the figures to stand out.
Removed some of the template layers, added WordArt tree brushes, a twig, foliage and a couple of elements. Still not happy so added a lighter artsy paper on top of the original paper and used a large soft eraser brash to erase the top half then changed this layer to 51% opacity.
