The Oscraps Collab kit - "Novel" was my inspiration for this layout, not only because of the theme of the kit but because of the warm cozy feel of this wonderful collaboration! It just feels like a warm sweater wrapped all around you. Perfect for sitting in front of the fire and reading a good by!

When I attached my photo to the paper I blended the photo onto the paper with a Hard Light Blend and adjusted the level by sliding the lever over from the right to the left just a bit. That made the trees and the window blend right into the paper and it looks like the wall is the same colour as the paper.
