ArtPlay Palette Magic by Anna Aspnes

Process: I started with an artsy paper from ArtPlay Palette Neige. I added my photo and clipped it to one of the fotoblendz in Snowy FotoBlendz No 3. I adjusted the photo with two adjustment layers for Levels and Hue/Saturation. I wanted a high contrast look and a brown tone for the photo. I placed it so I could use the textures, that already was on the background paper, as the bottom of the photo. I added a mask to the fotoblendz and did the adjustment that way. I added two transfers from ArtsyTransfers Neige. I recolored most of the layers into the same brown color as the photo. I also changed the blend modes for some. I added brushes and embellishments from APP Neige and the threadz from ButtonThreadz No 1. The brush, recolored into brown, along the the right side was given a Bevel & Emboss effect as I thought I needed more visual interest to that side. I placed two frames from Artsy Layered Template No 221 at the right side, to which I clipped two artsy papers. I used staples from ArtPlay Palette Magic here. I finished the page with the title from See WordART No 1.
