July Art Journal Challenge ~ Week 1 {CONNECTIONS} — https://oscraps.com/community/threads/july-art-journal-challenge-week-1-connections.42376/

I was stuck at first, I couldn't think of any connections that were an important part of me. Then I spent the afternoon with my best friend, which helped me pull it all together.

I made a couple of tweaks from the kit in making my page,
I wanted to use an overlay for extra texture. I opened Artsy Paper 4 and changed it to B/W. I selected the white areas and then deleted them. I then blended it over my background paper (Color 100%) and added a drop shadow to it.
I also loved the boy and girl stamp in the kit, especially since we have been friends since we were young. I copied some hair from a different stamp in the kit, placed it over the boy's head and merged the layers.
