Photo of wolf, by me, at the Lakota Wolf Preserve, NJ
I used mostly the blues and green colors from the palette given to use by the amazing Adryane. Instead of the rusty orange color, I used more of a tawny gold in the coat of the wolf and the artsy paper. To start, I created a clipping mask using one of the brushes in the kit. I opened a new file with a transparent layer, dragged the brush into it. I loaded the abr brush file and created several new layers. I used the different brushes to fill in the brush/mask to the the size and shape that I needed to best fit my photo. I merged the layers and saved it as a png, dragged that onto the artsy paper background. I dragged the edge overlay to the top of the paper and set the Blending Mode to Difference and Opacity to 81% to match the blue tones better for the palette.
We've visited a few wolf preserves in our travels and I'm always amazed at the resourcefulness and vitality of these animals, not to mention their social structures. I like how everything in your layout serves to draw attention to the wolf--it's a beautiful page.
 
I love the balance of the photo with the lovely color and texture mix on the right.
 
what a beautiful creature, I like how he's the star of the page. I have never heard of a wolf preserve, let alone in NJ!
 
what a beautiful creature. wonderful work with the blues and i love how the coppery lines are more "natural" than the orange and work so nicely with his coat. thanks so much for playing along :)
