Page process-
The photo was clipped to a transfer and both were resized.

The same transfer used above was duplicated and the bottom layer (with no photo clipped to it) was resized larger so it tucked out from below the transfer + photo layer.

A couple of frames were layered bellow the photo+ transfer and are slightly peeking out of the edge.

Multiple brushes and transfers and Tissue Textures were blended into the ART design.

WordART was layered into the ART and the photo was duplicated and clipped to the WordART to give a WordART the similar color and tones of the main focal area in the photo. Blending WordART into your photo conveys cool ART and messages.

Word Labels and UrbanStitchez were added and the clock was blended in using the color burn blending mode with a portion of it erased for visual interest.

A Distressed Edge Overlay (first edge in No. 9 kit is my fave!!) was recolored and provides the framing to the ART.

A few more scribble brushes were layered outside the main focus of the designlife is never without chaos or activity, but we can always find a place to find our peace and calm and rest from the business of life.

thanks for looking.donna
