Artsy paper 4 was used as the foundation for the page. I cut out the image of my great grandfather, then added a custom shadow around the cut out section. The newsprint paper was layered under the photo. These layers were clipped to a fotoblendz mask. MultiMedia Magic Sprinklez 2 and 5 were added. The bird was recolored using the hue/saturation adjustment tool. The page was completed by adding word art, an overlay and button threadz.
My Mom used to take us to cemeteries too! She would have us do a scavenger hunt and find the oldest grave. I love your background paper and the great extraction.
I remember going to the cemetery a lot with my mom as well. Using the silhouette as a frame for the text is an inspired touch. Congrats on your Standing O!
