Page Process-
The photo was blended using the methods learned in Lesson 1 of AnnaBlendz..so fun!
Photo was duplicated and the screen blending moe was applied to the second layer and the opacity decreased.
Lots of brushes were layered and tweaked with blending modes and opacity at various levels.
A few elements were scattered, along with wordART and stitching. I love incorporating UrbanStitchez and white stitching and works perfectly on an elegant, yet grungy page design.

Thanks for looking at this beautiful face and the beautiful mess I created..kudos to AnnaBlendz class!.....................donna
