The focal image was treated with watercolor techniques.
I used a duplicated watercolor layer of the focal image in the layer stack with a blending option soft light.
I reduced the opacity to intensify colors but also make them soft and blurry,
this created an overall color color impact and effect of light from the left to right,
(I m very curious on the impact of light and shadows effects these days on pages).
The background effect is created by using a paperie from the APP Oasis.
I used over the paper few transfer on the left side of the page one above and one below that are present in the same APP.
I used also from Anna a word art element treated with gold styles,
I repeated that layer with word art and I used shadows on it, placing them just below the gold layer creating a shadow effect.
