Journaling reads: All the girls received different dresses for the dance recital. When Cora pulled hers out, everyone gathered around, with lots of Oohs and Aahs. Her dress had the most detail, with the corset ties in the back, and the ruffles, the glittery torquoise sequins, a black tulle bow for her hair, and OH - the long black gloves, how Cora loved the long black gloves. She couldnt stop beaming with delight.

AnnaBlendz No. 4 Inverted Masking http://www.oscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=10010902&cat=398&page=1
My Process: I began with ALT 196, and added a background paper from AP Summery. I then began playing with the different layers of the template, changing color and blend modes. I added the photos, and duplicated each photo, placing it above the frame layer, I used the Inverted Masking technique to place the OOB portions of each photo. I then added a few of the ArtsyTransfers from both Summery and Shine, using AnnaBlendz 3 to blend away portions of the tranfers. I added a few of the splatters from the transfers as well. I added the Title, including the Hello sweet from the Summer WordART, and added a stroke and custom shadow to the title word Dancer. I added the LoopDaLoop, placing the ballerina at the end of the loop. I added various stichez and threadz, and added the white flowers to create a visual triangle. I placed the lace transfer from AP Salty Living under the title, and journaling, and added the LoveGlow at top behind the 3 grouped frames. I then added a WarmGlow on top of the photos, using blend mode overlay, I played around with the color, and opacity until it brightened up the photos just a bit.
