Glacial Golden Gate

I think this is the last GGB picture from New Year's, although I am headed back this weekend ;-)

Supplies from Anna Aspnes:
ArtPlay Palette Glacial (coming soon)
AnnaBlendz Artsy No 6 (coming soon)

Process:
This almost feels like cheating, it was so easy :) This year I am focusing on more journaling, to capture my thoughts as well as what I do.

Started with Artsy Paper 1 from APP Glacial and just plopped my picture in the white area. Then I used various of the brushes from AnnaBlendz Artsy No 6 to blend it (I just pile up these brushes on top of my photo, noting the edge blending or transparency I am trying to achieve; then I merge them all, move it under my photo, clip and adjust the size as necessary).
Added several embellishments in a cluster, added the loops on the left side and bottom to frame things, wrote my journaling. I found this wonderful poem about the bridge, so I copied the whole thing onto the left side of my page in a fancy font (Palace Script MT), then set it to Vivid Light, 70% opacity, so it almost looks like scriptease, and used a low opacity soft-edged eraser to blend it into the edges of the photo/mask, then added the first stanza to my journaling. Added a few more brushes and embellishments to the right side and I was done with one of the fastest pages I have made so far this year :)
Beautiful page, great photo. I think sometimes we forget to add journalling to pages and it is so nice to look back and remember our feelings at that time.
 
Beautiful blending and texture! Seeing the Golden Gate Bridge in person is on my bucket list, but for now, I'll enjoy your beautiful photos!
