Just completed the AnnaBlendz class!
and playing with some cool ARTsale kits! Love that fall is upon us and Love the words to this beautiful song I tucked inside the Art page.
What fortune lies beyond the stars Those dazzling heights too vast to climb I got so high to fall so far But I found heaven as love swept low
My heart beating, my soul breathing I found my life when I laid it down Upward falling, spirit soaring I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground
What treasure waits within Your scars This gift of freedom gold can't buy I bought the world and sold my heart You traded heaven to have me again My heart beating, my soul breathing I found my life when I laid it down Upward falling, spirit soaring I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground
Find me here at Your feet again Everything I am, reaching out, I surrender Come sweep me up in Your love again And my soul will dance On the wings of forever Find me here at Your feet again Everything I am, reaching out, I surrender Come sweep me up in Your love again And my soul will dance On the wings of forever
My heart beating, my soul breathing I found my life when I laid it down Upward falling, spirit soaring I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground My heart beating, my soul breathing I found my life when I laid it down Upward falling, spirit soaring I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground
Find me here at Your feet again Everything I am, reaching out I surrender Come sweep me up in Your love again And my soul will dance On the wings of forever Upward falling, spirit soaring I touch the sky When my knees hit the ground by

Page Process-
AnnaBlendz class included some wonderful techniques on blending modes and fliters and layering up brushes and transfers and how to keep what you want and do away with the pieces that dont fit. This page is simply a mix of playing with ideas and see what unfolded on the canvas.
This page design became about repeating lines which I layered up in the brushes, stitching, frames, WordART, and lyrics of the song.
The black frame felt as if it overwhelmed the ART so it was softened by using the luminosity blending mode and by adding the transfer lace which also has the luminosity blending mode applied over some of the edges
The WordART was recolored and reach for the sky has a paperie clipped to the WordART layer to add visual interest and color
A few of the brushes over the Sunflower have the color burn blending mode applied that brought out and repeats the deep rich red color in the elements.
Stitching anchors the pieces and adds color and texture and some messy beauty
thanks for looking.donna
