The Process: As always, I got carried away with product. I began with the sale AP Embrace Life. I love the colors in this palette, so it grew from there, with my finding perfect little tidbits from many of Annas other ArtPlays so much fun to find those perfect little additions. I began with the tall frame from AP Winter Wonderland, and attached the photo. I added a 6th photo and blended it into the background. This background photo was placed on blend mode Linear Light, bring down its opacity, and then duplicated the photo and placed the new photo on Blend Mode Luminocity. The opacity on this layer was lowered as well thus softening the overall color of the photo. I placed my background paper, and then began adding various transfers underneath the photo. I added the elements, and the dotted loopdaloop. I then played around with the shadows of the elements and the photo frames. I finished by adding the page title and the thin edge overlay.
