Ive always had a love for Artsy Kardz + FotoInspired LT so blended the two and this piece came together.Sometimes song lyrics are so perfectly written and expressed that they speak to your heart where ever you are at on lifes journey. This song is so beautiful (and the video is so moving.) Just a little ART to express some thoughts with the words from Ed Sheerans Thinking Out Loud.

Portion of lyrics-
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand

I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are

Page Process-
The ArtsyKardz were clipped to the fotomasks of the LT. Each ArtsyKardz was moved around within the frames to allow the section of the ArtsyKardz that was appealing to the eye to be spotlighted (totally an individual visual preference as you create.)
The photo was next clipped to a fotomask and the photo was duplicated and the screen blending mode was applied to the second photo layer and the opacity was decreased to blend the photo into the page background a bit more.
The entire LT (except the background layer) was resized and positioned off center.
A frame was placed just above the background paper layer and the luminosity blending mode was applied which creates a shadow and lifts the main portion of the LT to create visual interest.
Brushes and WordTransfers were scattered and the colorburn blending mode was applied to the WordTransfers and the opacity was decreased to blend further into the design.
The lyrics were scattered with typography using the fonts 1942 Report and Signerica
Plenty of stitching and tape secure the page because these details make me happy and look a bit messy and unperfect.

thanks for looking..donna
