Oscraps
Downtown SF Composite Mounted
Dear Ann06, look what you made me do! 
Ann mentioned my San Francisco skyscraper photos would make a good subject for her latest Composite Technique tutorial http://annaaspnes.typepad.com/anna/2015/03/artsy-composite-techniques-part-5-of-6.html
I had started this tutorial once before but didn't have the right photos. I never would have thought to use these but got some amazing results.
There are 3 photos here, two in difference mode (lower left and across the top) and 1 in Multiply (right) on top of Anna Aspnes ArtPlay Palette Crazy Life textured paper. They all use vector masks and either watercolor brushes or simple eraser to blend them.
The silhouette is taken from the internet, but not at all inappropriate since I took these pictures on the way to a yoga class. I added beveling, embossing and a stroke to really make my warrior stand out.
There might even be some message here. The amount of building going on in San Francisco is astounding. Should we be concerned or be paying homage to commercialism? And this building is going on as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Pan Pacific Exposition of 1915, which, among other things, was celebrating the rebirth of San Francisco after the great earthquake and fire of 1906. A lot to think about!
ArtPlay Palette Metro Graffiti was used for transfers and elements, and that crazy lighting effect in the center is from Warm Glows No 8.
The result was too busy, even for me, so I made a composite image and mounted it on another sheet of the Crazy Life paper, repeating the Metro Graffiti edge overlay and a few bits from Artsy Transfers Arrive.
And now I have stayed up way to late
