These flowers dot the hedge rows of the fields this time of the year. To me they are a sign that summer is truly on its way.

Process
Solid paper 2 from APP Anything was used as the background page. An inverted mask was created on the background photo, hiding it. Using a textured brush from AnnaBlendz Artsy 3, the flowers were painted back in, keeping the edge of the photo soft. The smaller photo was clipped to a foto glow from APP Anything, giving the edges a dreamy look. These layers were layered over the background flowers. Back to the inverted mask, areas that showed through on the smaller photo were brushed out. The acrylic frame was layered between the flowers and the smaller photo. The lace was given a faint shadow so the details would show. A variety of layers, splatters, artstrokes from AT Anything and APP Anything were added. Embellishments and word art completed the page.

Thank you for looking!
