Anna's 100th Artsy Layered template gave me a great springboard to make a special "thank you" for our church's Junior Choir director. After 8 wonderful years, she is stepping down. I was lucky to spend 4 years with her, accompanying this group. This terrific lady has made such a huge impact on these children - and will be greatly missed by the program as well as the children. The small photos allowed me to show her "in action" from several different rehearsals and concerts. Lots of "hearts" all around to represent how much she is loved by the families of this choir.

Process

I started by filling in the small photos, then selected one in black & white for a muted background effect. I layered it over the Inforescence Artsy Paper which gave an ethereal look to the page. The Artsy Paper was layered 3 times with various blending modes and opacity (blending modes Pin Light over Multiply over Darker Color). I added several heart transfers as a backdrop to the photo collage and played with blending modes to get the desired effect. Finally, several glows, transfers and magic sprinkles were added to finish the page.

Thanks so much for looking!
