Created For The April 2023 : Challenge #4 : Creative Techniques : Filters

Hi Everyone...What a great! challenge Ona!...I use filters a lot...They are fun! once you get the hang of using them...It took me awhile to get the hang of them...but they are a great! way to change up the look of your photographs & elements...I have my large photo in the back of the QP Template that I used from the Simply Spring Oscraps Collab..I repeated it multiple times...using varying parts & blending them in according to how I wanted the pieces to go together...

For my photo...She's peeking out from behind the open parts of the template...I hope you can see clearly her eyes,forehead,mouth & chin...I used 3 filters on the photo...Poster Edges/Dry Brush/Watercolor...Poster Edges is my fav filter & next Dry Brush...They are both used here...

I also had much fun using varying combos of these filters on the flairs,the blue bird,butterflies,large green leaf & some flowers...Cutout/Sponge/Dry Brush/Poster Edges...filters...All of these elements...represent positivity & hope for the future...

My layout is all about Hope...Change...Joy...Fits what I'm going through right now...I'm hopeful for the future...I still have my not-so-good days...But I'm still moving forward in my recovery...I have to believe that the future will be brighter & better than all me & my amazing! husband have been through these last few months...So you can see her sad eyes...in this layout...but lurking behind them is...Hope...Change & impending Joy...Thanks for this Amazing! challenge Ona!... ...
