How cool is this shot!............not my normal neutral palette for sure. My friend, Jama captured this sweet photo of her babes out on the boat. Love the details in the photo..note the two hands not letting go of these two little ones. gottcha.clearly they are loved and adored. To me, this shot is a splendid view.

The photo was awesome, but still played with an app that created a vibrant pencil sketch effect and went from there.

The photo was clipped to the Coastline Fotoblendz and layers were resized and positioned.

Brushes and transfers were layered up and recolored and blended into the ART.

WordART and and pieces of WordART were blended into the design to convey the message.

Frames were duplicated, resized, and positioned to add visual interest in the design.

By keeping the monotone background, there is visual interest in the brushes and wordart, yet the eye stays focused on those two sweet summer subjects.

thanks for looking..donna
