The Process
I began with artsy paper 1 from Artplay Mini Palette Honor as my background. I layered in the balloons, ribbons and cupcake from Artplay Palette Birthday. Using the hue/saturation tool, I adjusted the colors of the balloons and ribbons to better match the colors on the artsy paper. The cupcake was black and white so I clipped the red glow from Honor to the base of the cupcake and a cool glow to the frosting portion with the blending modes changed to color burn. This added color and allowed the grain of the cupcake to show through. On the layer above the cupcake I placed stained overlay 2 from Honor over the identical position on the paper to tuck the cupcake under the overlay. I added a custom shadow behind the balloons. Brushes, word art, label words, elements were layered to complete the page.
