I dont seem to have time for ART as much as Id like. Think this was a message I needed to remind myself and somehow it showed up in ART form.

quote.(hidden among the brushes)
there is beauty every day.
You may have to
pause,
and you may have to
search,
but it is there.
sometimes its even right there in front of you.

Page Process-
Two WaterColor FotoBlendz were layered together to create the fotoblendz across the page I desired and then the two layers were merged together to create one layer to be used as a clipping mask.
The photo was then clipped to this layer.

I was having trouble resizing the fotoblendz layer with the photo areas I wanted to show through without some of the black of the fotoblendz popping out. I could have erased these areas, but to recolor the fotoblendz white just like my background. The results worked well for this photo and this ART page.
Brushes and transfers and WordART were layered into the design using multiple blending modes to add design and texture to the ART.

I moved layers around and left things hidden..sometimes on purpose and sometimes by happy accident. It seemed to fit well with the thoughts in my head and the quote within the ART.

thanks for looking..donna
