Took this photo of my Maple tree in the yard one morning before going to work. It was loaded with snow.

The Process: I placed 7 different Artsy FotoBlendz, clipping the photo of my Maple tree to each mask over the ArtsyTransfers Chills and Notebook brush on the Glacial background paper. I used different blend modes on each FotoBlendz to give a different definition to parts of the photo.

After piecing together a couple of the tapes, I put the ScriptTease frame and the Light Leaks on the photo putting the Light Leaks on Linear Burn and turning down the opacity to 57%. I also put the FotoGlow on my photo on Overlay with 43% opacity.

I added the stitches, MultiMedia Winter and button on the snow flake on the left corner of the photo along with the date. The word art became my title for this layout.

Along the left edge I added spackle texture and a scribble and in the upper right corner I used a couple of the masks from the same PhotoBlendz and clipped the photo again with Color Burn mode. Then I put the word art and postmark on top of it. I dated the layout with Traveling Typewriter font.
