Inspiration – when you look at this page you may find my inspiration out of whack with the final product but sometimes journeys don’t take us where we thought we were going. I started looking at my Autumn foliage shot. This picture had been particularly popular on my 365 Project. So I put it on the page and started playing with mask and then with blending modes and from this my page emerged.
Start – New File File>New 12x12x300
Paper – Placed Solid Paper 3 over the background layer.
Photo – added my photo over the paper – I played with a few different masks but none of them were big enough to display enough of the photo. So I put only it on the page. It was over the edges on the sides but not the top and bottom. So I played with blend modes and loved the way it looked set at Luminosity. But what to do with the top and bottom edges. So I added a mask to my photo. I selected the sky and filled the selection over the mask with black. Repeated with the water but not all this time. It was working for me.
Transfer – Artsy Transfer 4 was added between the photo and the paper layer. I grouped the transfer and added a mask to the group. I used black to remove the part of the transfer the showed below the photo.
Elements – I kept simple – I used MultiMedia Autumn 1.1 which I placed in the lower right-hand corner.
Brushes – I placed the artstroke brush twice on the page then I put Brush 10 on the page and felt I had a visual triangle as the artstroke and the brush both had rounded hooks.Brush 8 I placed over the darker water. Then I secured the photo to the page with Urban Threadz Brush 8.1.
Words – Last I used the word art “Thankful for the little things in Life” for my title.
