My hubby is not necessarily a romantic. In fact, he quite often forgets birthdays and anniversaries, but every so often he'll bring home a bouquet of "sunshine" ... just because.

Process
Solid paper 2 from APP Sunkissed was used as the foundation of the page. Solid paper 5 from APP Hearth was layered over it with the blending mode changed to Linear Burn (reduced opacity) to darken the paper and allow some texture to show through. The photo of the sunflower was processed in the iPhone app Brushstroke and then clipped to a Wild Autumn FotoBlendz mask. The image was duplicated with the blending mode changed to hard light (reduced opacity). Solid paper 2 from APP Hearth was clipped to a 12x12 page fotoblendz (blending mode of the fotoblendz was changed to color burn) and layered under the sunflower. Artsy Transfers Hearth_3 was layered above the 12x12 fotoblendz with the blending mode of the large white paint layer changed to darken. Gold paint layers from AT Hearth_1 & 4 were placed around the sunflower. A warm glow was added with the blending mode changed to color burn. AT Hearth_5 was added on the right side (the yellow color bumped up for some warmth). Some of the layers were turned off or moved around. Transfers from APP Hearth were added. Word art, embellishments, magic sprinklez and paint splatters were added to complete the page.
Thank you for looking!
