fonts used: for the text I used papyrus condensed
and for the title I used painted regular

ALT #218 was imported,all layers were turned off.
Some were deleted,others resized and recolored.I used 2 images and used inverted masking technique on both using Anna blends artsy brushes.One was clipped to the paint layers which I had merged and resized to fit the merged layers. Artsy paper 4 from the APP Aspera was used as a background. Then I worked my way up the layer stack,deleting some and recoloring and moving some. I completed my text and title with fonts. The elements were placed last. Warm glow was added above the text box,size adjusted and blend mode overlay applied.

Thanks for looking!!

Journaling: This year the beloved nutcracker collection of 40 years was passed on to the youngest grandson. He made a personal request and I was thrilled to oblige.Many memories were in that collection for both of us. Then when I dragged out the Christmas decor,I realized that the collection filled so many nooks and crannies throughout the house,that some spots seemed bare.So I discovered this little sparkly tree to place on a table and it seemed somewhat to fill the gap. All the decor is packed in boxes and now back in the storage room but I left the tree out. It seems that it is an excellent catcher of the afternoon sun rays coming into the sunroom. It is so pretty to see and adds so much fun to a winter afternoon. So,the grandson is happy and I have a new treasure to enjoy.
