I have a flowering crab tree in my yard that has been there for over 40 years. And when it blooms it is so beautiful. I snapped a picture with my cellphone and processed in Snapseed.
Process
1. Choose a frame from the kit that fits the picture. Clip picture to frame mask using Create Clipping Mask. I had to rotate this frame and so needed to adjust the shadow to stay consistent with my normal shadows.
2. Then I choose a paper to fit in with the horizontal style page I wanted to create. I thought Artsy Paper 2 would work nicely.
3. So the focal design would run across the whole page I made a copy of the focal photo. Then I control clicked on the mask layer to get a selection. Now I selected on the copy of the photo and clicked the mask icon so that I got a picture identical to what was in the frame. I made a copy of this. I shifted one copy to the far right and one to the far left. I reduced the opacity of both pictures to about 40%.
4. I added the artstroke over the two copies of the focal photo and overlay 3 on the lower left edge. Transfer 4 was added to the upper right hand corner,
5. I placed WatercolorFlowers 1.11 to the page using the color from my crab tree flowers.
6. I choose a title from Spring-WordART-Mix-No 1 but I also added the word Bloom to the page. I increased the size so it covered the bottom of the page. I also reduced the opacity to about 10% and ran the Gaussian blur filter. I wanted the word to be just barely visible.
And my favorite part of spring is captured on a scrapbook page for me to enjoy.
