Please pardon the rather sad page, doing this is cathartic for me
Congratulations to Anna for achieving 30,000 layouts, and thank you for bringing us this art which enables the capture of important memories.
Artsy Layered Template 220 (coming soon)
ArtPlay Palette Love Letters (coming soon)
Process:
I pretty simply used the template here, only enlarging the frames slightly, coloring the frames to match the birthday cards, and coloring the layers, moving things only slightly.
Background is 3 papers from the APP, normal, then Soft Light, then Color Burn. I added transfers from the APP between these layers to take advantage of the color burning and blending.
I recolored the ribbon from the APP, then extracted two ribbons and the heart from my birthday cards and used them as additional elements.
I added the frame from the kit behind all the cards/frames to better focus them.
