It was the soft vintage feel of ritacicas beautiful page that inspired me for this weeks AnnaLift. https://ozone.oscraps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25353
The lovely muted colors of AP Forget Me Not allowed me to create a vintage look with this photo of our daughter, circa 1985.

Process:
I processed the photo with a cool iPhone app called Glaze for a soft painterly and vintage feel.
The background is the beautiful pink paper from AP Chatter on 100% SoftLight Mode,
blended with a paper from AP Forget Me Not on Darken Mode to retain the pink color underneath.
I placed a mask from FotoInspired Masks No.3 onto the page and clipped to it:
the pink paper from APChatter, a transfer from AP Forget Me Not and the photo (set to ColorBurn Mode.)
I placed WarmGlows No.1 and CoolGlows No.2 in a combination of Color Burn or Overlay modes to add dimension.
I completed the page with the flowers*, a lace strip, word transfer and script tease to border the photo.
*I extracted the flowers from AP Forget Me Not_ArtPaper1 by selecting the flowers area.
I then used a soft brush to erase the paper surrounding the flowers.
