Process Notes: Blending two papers from Heartland for the foundation to build my layout, I placed, resized, rotated 3 masks across the bottom third of the page and merged them into one layer. After clipping the wildflower photo to the merged layer, I duplicated the photo two more times. The second layer is Soft Light at 63% opacity and the third layer has Poster Edges filter, Darker Color Blend with 18% opacity.
Choosing 2 daisies I placed them so they would look like they were a part of the photo, growing with the rest of the wildflowers. I left both on Normal blend mode but gave them a little bevel and emboss.
Placing three of the transfers from Heartland under and over the the photo, blending as needed. From there I placed the title.
It was time to add the photo of the abandoned house at the top of the page and underneath the wildflower photo. I turned it into a black and white photo using adjustment layers and the Poster Edges filter. Added glows, tissue and tape textures to the white sky above the house, to give a little interest and a sense of sunshine.
After adding the butterfly, I changed the wing colors to better match the the wildflower photo with adjustment layers. I also recolored the glow and splatter, blending the glows under the butterfly.
Finally I added the wasp and weed to the bottom right side of the layout along with the word art and hidden amongst the wildflowers I stamped a few scribble flowers. And there you have it.
