Created for monthly challenge #2. I think that I will use this as my opening page for my 2025 monthly joy album.
process: Began with a text layer for large letter J using Chalkline Outline font. Created a mask layer for the J with a soft brush & clipped photo. Recoloured the J layer to blend with photo. A drop shadow & black stroke was added to J. Placed an artsy paper & transfer as background. Used 'enjoy' from wordart cluster by selecting 'en' & 'oy' and using large J to spell enjoy. Created a cluster of bow, dried flowers, notion, labels & threads and placed a multimedia sun cluster with added button & notion. Blending modes & adjustment layers were used on several layers to recolour and blend all elements & layers.
