The Process
I began with a solid paper from AP Take Flight and layered several transfers from the kit. Artsy Transfers Take Flight_5 was opened up. The photo was clipped to several layers. I painted in areas around the face and the texture was turned off. A composite image was made and brought into the 12x12 page. The lace layer was also added over the composite image with a slight drop shadow. The blending mode of the composite image was changed to luminosity, duplicated and changed to color burn, opacity reduced. The main photo was extracted and duplicated with the blending mode changed to screen and the opacity reduced. A custom shadow was created behind the girls and around their feet. I added several Tape Textures (blending mode set to overlay and duplicated) to add a grounded look around their feet. Another transfer from the kit was layered around their feet, duplicated and flipped horizontally. I added a light leak (used the warp tool to create the arch) and set the blending mode to color burn with a reduced opacity. A fotoglow, stars, buttons, frame and label word were added to complete the page.
Thanks for looking.
