Process
A solid paper from APP Yule was used as the base of the page. It was duplicated (a level adjustment was made to brighten up the white) and the blending mode was changed to soft light with a slightly decreased opacity. The photo was clipped to a fotoblendz mask. The photo was duplicated with the blending mode changed to hard light. Then the blending mode of the mask was changed to color burn. These layers were merged together. The merged photo was duplicated again with the blending mode changed to color burn. A warm glow was added to brighten up the image. The blending mode of the photo of the pine trees was changed to darken to eliminate the white edges of the photo and to allow some texture to show through. The tree photo was duplicated and these layers were merged together and then the blending mode was changed to color burn. The photo was duplicated one more time, flipped, resized and the opacity was reduced. Transfers from the kit were layered behind the car and over the pine trees. Artstrokes, word art, a MultiMedia Holiday Tree and embellishments were added to complete the page.
Thank you for looking!
