Process: I started with a solid paper from ArtPlay Palette Rudeneja. I added my photo, desaurated it and colored it into a dark sepia tone. Then I added a fotoblendz from Layered FotoBlendz No 7 and clipped the photo to it. A mask from FotoInspired Masks No 2 was placed behind the photo. I duplicated the mask and the copy was set to blending mode Soft Light and the original mask got a decreased opacity. I added a branch from MultiMedia Branches No 9 but I didnt keep all layers. Some layers were changed in colors and other duplicated. I placed the word Embrace and the beads from Change WordART Mix No 1. I duplicated the word and the blending modes for these two layers were set to Overlay and Linear Burn. The beads got a Color Overlay in a yellow tone. Then I placed a transfer and brushes to the top of the layout from ArtPlay Palette Rudeneja. I colored some of the brushes into blue and I did the same with a paint from PlatinumPaint No 1. Then I placed silver leaves from ArtPlay Palette Rudeneja on the top. I finished the layout with some embellishments from ArtPlay Palette Rudeneja and a texture from CanvasTextures No 1.
