Love Letters Artplay Palette--**coming soon**
Artsy Layered Template #220--**coming soon**

Process:
Our old dog is in failing health, and I needed a reminder to take things a day at a time. This artplay palette made me think of a paper collage I had created a few years ago, so I built the page around a scan of that. To make the composition look layered, I merged three of the four template masks together to make one big mask and clipped the scan to that, removing the frames and then applying transfer #7 on top for softness. I moved the template's fourth frame toward the top and clipped the collage scan to the mask to show the whole artwork. I also used multiple copies of transfer #7 to make the stone wall to the right.

Because the template did pretty much everything for me, most of my time went into getting the faded look of the title/wordart right. I clipped the collage scan and various papers/transfers to letters made with big blocky fonts until I liked what I saw.

The page that is going into my digijournal has journaling about our dog at the lower rightI removed that for posting.
oh this is wonderful...I love your original collage, love that you make collages (I love collage and have dabbled quite a bit myself, mostly in the form of artist cards), and so clever how you worked it into the background. Awesome 'stone' effect! I'm sorry about your dog, that must be so hard, I can't even imagine. Hugs to you!
 
love the collage look! I remember collages from my college days! so sorry about your dog - hugs!
 
Beautiful collage! Love how your composites are complex, yet flow smoothly and so interesting...(so sorry also about your dog)
 
this is really beautiful. i think my favorite part is the placement and blending of the fan. i thought of you yesterday when i was in the dollar store. there are so many hardback books just waiting for someone to alter them.
