This is for this weeks AnnaLift https://ozone.oscraps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32776, with inspiration from the layout "Close up shot" by "Berry18" - Thank-you for such wonderful inspiration.

I am not sure I am all that happy with this layout, so I may use these photos again and take another approach to them. It is always fun to create completely different layouts and see how dramatically different a layout you can come up with. This is another layout of my daughters friend Aubrey who moved to Tennessee this past year.

Process Notes: I began with an Artsy Paper from APP Remember. I used a fotoblendz, and turned it white. I then used the inverted masking technique and placed the three photos over the clipping mask, clipping it to the fotoblendz. I then added the frame, and masked out portions of the frame where the figure extended past the frame. I added various transfers from APP Sojourn, ArtsyTransfers Sojourn, APP Winter Sunrise, APP Adventure, APP Remember and APP Sea Foam. I added the word strips, and Urban Stitches to the frame edge. I then added the title, adding a stroke, and a custom shadow, and placed the beaded thread in between the two words. I then began adding a variety of stains from ALT No 223, the ArtsyTransfer Sojourn and APP Joyful, either in a white or soft blue along the darker lineal strip of color. I added the stitched snowflake, extending it off the right edge of the page, and added 3 paper snowflakes, placing them on blend mode Darker Color. I then added various FotoBlendz, placing them on Blend Mode Overlay to darken and enhance the colors just a bit. I added the SkinneyLined Overlay, changing it to a medium blue, and took the word art from APP Adventure, and curved it along one of the lines of the Overlay. I finished up with the Painted Edge Overlay in the soft brown.
