Me as a baby! I only have a few photos of myself as a baby, and most of them are blurry. My mom said I was bald for quite some time (years). She told me so that people would know I was a girl, she always had me dressed in frilly dresses, and still she would get comments from people asking her why she was dressing her baby boy in a dress!!!

The Process: I began with one of the Artsy Papers from AP Hope. I added one of the UrbanThreadz Frames, and duplicated the frame, mask and shadow, and used it for the second photo, but chose different stitchez, scaling it to fit the frame size. I attached the photos to the clipping masks. The photos were extremely light, so I duplicated the photos 2 more times. The lowest layer of photos was kept on Blend Mode Normal. The second photo was placed on Blend Mode Color Burn, and the top layer was also placed on color burn, but I masked out all except where I needed extra detail in the extremely washed out areas. I then played around with curves on this top layer to maximize the detail in the photo. Next I added a number of transfers both around the photo, and also in the lower right edge of the paper. I also added a few of the Melange FotoBlendz under the photo, changing them to a soft pink, to intensify the color under the photos. I added a few elements, stitches and threadz around the photos. I added the white alpha, creating a custom shadow, and placed the Inked Words under the white alpha title.
