Page Process-

The AnnaBlendz brushes were layered up in no particular order and then they were merged together creating one large Anna Blendz brush to clip the flower photo to. The photo and the new AnnaBlendz brush created were both resized until I liked the portion of the flower photo that was visible.

Multiple brushes and transfers were layered up to create the page design.

The color throughout the page was created by continually duplicating the photo and clipping it to brushes and different areas throughout the design and tweaking the opacity to get the variation in colors and hues, yet keeping a simple balance throughout.

This method was also used with the word, amazing and just perfect.

A frame placed somewhere in the middle of the lays stack created the spilling out view of the flower.

The PaperWord, beauty was applied and the urbanthreadz was hiding the word, but since Anna created these PaperWords as psds it was easy enough to switch out another urbanthreadz that fit a bit better in this design.

thanks for looking.donna
