There were some colorful bouquets in the grocery store and I had to take a photo. I loved the yellows, reds and pinks together.

Process Notes: Opening a 12 x 12 file and bringing in my photo I used four different artsy paint brushes, stacking them on top of each other and arranging. I duplicated the photo 3 more times and clipped each copy to a artsy paint in the stack. I brought in several different papers, trying them on for size and liked artsy paper 1 the best for the foundation. Then going back to the clipped stack, I used different blend modes on each artsy paint brush all at 100% opacity. Starting from the bottom and moving up the stack, I used Overlay, Screen, Pin Light and Multiply. I put these in a Group.
Underneath the flower stack, I tucked overlays from the Palette next to the right side scribble line of the paper and over these overlays I stamped the paper texture following the vertical line of the paper. Also below the the flower stack I placed stains from the Palette and artsy stains 3. These were colored pink and aqua respectively. Adding the spackle on the lower right side of the paper texture and over it I placed the architecture stamp in pink.
Over the photo stack I added a couple mini dots taking the colors from the palette and photo. One is pink and the other is aqua.
The threads and brad were placed and the jazzed up loopdaloop with the tiny yellow flower was brought in under the brad and threads.
I had typed out the quote earlier, placing it all over the place on the page and decided I liked it best tucked at the top of the flowers. That completes this layout.
