The toddler group halloween party got a bit much for Neve at one point!
I used inverted masking technique to mask the photograph, duplicated, reduced the saturation on the top layer and then erased part to reveal some colour in Neve's face. The toy is bright primary colour plastic and I didn't want it to dominate the page. The rest is achieved by layering transfers from AT Gentle Morning with transfers from the Artplay on top of an Artsy paper. I finished off with a couple of layers from MM Birds positioned bleeding off the right hand of the page and elements on the opposite page. I 'threaded' a button on to the reed by erasing part of the button and included word art in the same way, adding a drop shadow.
