My grandmother Meme was a great artist in so many ways,
I learned from her when young to enjoy all type of crafts and small projects,
I did not get the chance to share with her my digital interest or any of my LO,
I think she would have enjoyed each one of them,
I made this LO thinking if she had the opportunity to see one of my digital pieces.
I will love her and miss her dearly always.

I took a finished image from a previous LO that I have made and I placed it in the center of the page,
I added to centered LO image a layer style / shadow effect called drop shadow" modifying the spread and distance providing a 3D effect or dimension,
I have used a composite or additional image for the standing person and treated that image with watercolor techniques and watercolor brushes,
I changed during the process the opacity, scale and direction of the brush,
always using the same brush with large surface and well defined edges.
You can see the full tutorial in Anna's blog.

I added an artzykard 6x6 as a background paper and I transformed it and stretched it to 12 by 12 size,
I added after different overlays and transfers from the AP as a background effect as well.
