Felt the need to stitch! Thanks Nancy for the cool AnnLift inspiration https://ozone.oscraps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32231

Wanted to add a few or a lot of stitches into a page design. This sweet little face beneath that awesome stitched hat belongs to a friends granddaughter was too adorable not to play with and perfect for this week's AnnaLift challenge.

Page Process-
The photo was clipped to a clipping mask and both were resized

ArtsyTransfer Peace was added to the page as a psd and the layers were turned off and then each one turned back on and individually I decided which layers to keep or move around or recolor, working the ArtsyTransfer into the page design as each layer played a part in the design

Brushes and transfers were added above and below the photo.

The photo was duplicated and the duplicated layer was clipped to the wordART, xoxo and the photo was moved around to allow the color of the hat to be repeated in the wordart xoxo and create a small area of pop in the page design.

Stitching, WordART, and elements were added to compliment the page theme.

thanks for looking.donna
