Sunkissed WordART Mix No 1 by Anna Aspnes http://www.oscraps.com/shop/Sunkissed-WordART-Mix-No.-1.html

Process: I opened one of the artsy paper from ArtPlay Palette Sunkissed. I added a transfer and my photo. I adjusted the size of the transfer and did a copy of it. I changed the blend mode to Pin Light. After clipping the photo to the transfer I extended the transfer but also erased some parts of it. I did some adjustments on the photo with the Dodge Tool on a new layer and added also adjustment layers for Curves and Brightness/Contrast. I placed some brushes and recolored these to white and to the blue tone in the photo. I also added two overlays and textures just over the top of the photo to soften the edges. The leaves were placed on the left side of the photo and got the blend mode Multiply. I erased the part that overlapped the girls. I placed the sunflower and a copy of it on the left side. Both layers were set to blend mode Soft Light with a lower opacity for the copy. My intension was to symbolize the sun. I added embellishments from the APP and the wordART from Sunkissed WordART Mix No 1 and finished the layout with the date.
