Special Time

Another page for my co-worker Megan. This is her dd Cora with Megans dad. While Megan is at work, her dad watches his grand-daughter Cora, so the two are very close. I love this photo of Cora with her Grandpa (she calls him Pops), just having a little quiet time while out for a day of site-seeing so very touching.

The Process:
The photo I used had some issues areas that would distract the eye in a negative way, so after choosing the background paper, and placing the photo, I decided I could eliminate and/or lessen the negative areas in two way: by using some blending techniques, and using transfers. I placed a number of transfers in the forground of the photograph, which covered up peoples legs. I blended out the people in the background of the image, not wanting to entirely remove them, but to lessen their importance. I applied the blendmode Color Burn, which allowed texture from the background paper to show through, and then copied this photo layer, placed it on the blend mode Normal, and masked all of the photo out except for the two people. I added the WordArt, and then added two edge overlays. One was used to darken the edge, the other was a ScriptTease overlay which I placed on the blendmode Divide, to make it white. I had placed a transfer on the upper right edge, and I enhanced this transfer by adding the Jazzed Up LoopDaLoop. The final item added was the Painted Flutterby in the lower left, which mimicked the faint flutterbys on the background paper.

Superb how you eliminated the negative elements of the picture !!! Fabulous page !
 
Fabulous page, Joanie!! I love how you eliminated the distractions but, especially, how you reduced opacity of the people in the corner -I love the effect of them walking away, such a wonderful part of this page!
 
I don't know what the original photo looked like, but you did a superb job with this page! The photo is stunning here, with the emphasis just where it should be--on the bond between a grandfather and his granddaughter. Awesome page composition!
 
What a wonderful photo and amazing memory page for your friend!! GORGEOUS!!
 
A beautiful photo capture and a fabulous page you created, Joanie! Love the distress and the textures.
