Inspiration – Been attending Anna’s sessions. Always gets my creative juices flowing. For me Scrapbooking is mainly a way to display my photos. But I see all these creative pages that are presented in the sessions and I have to try a little creativity myself. Doesn’t matter that I will never be as good as some of my teammates on matters that I have fun trying. And hope in the process I inspire others to give it a try.
Start – Create a new file File>New 12x12 300
Paper – put solid papers 2 and 4 over the background layer. I set the blend mode on Solid Paper 2 to Color Dodge.
Photos – used two photos from Unsplash.com - remy-penet-zaM9LhySx_0-unsplash and nicola-ricca-oSM6a3kSSeA-unsplash. Both photos are of spiral staircases. The first one I selected the dark color and copied it onto a separate layer which I placed over the paper and enlarged to cover the whole sheet. I added the second photo under the first and added a mask to remove parts I didn’t want to be displayed.
Transfers – I placed the jpg version of Artsy Transfer 1 above the papers with a Blend Mode of Vivid Light. Moved the PSD version of artsy transfer 2 on the page. Transfer 4 blend mode Pin light and jpg of artsy transfer 3 with blend mode subtract also were placed on the page above the papers.
Elements – Multimedia 3 I placed over the photos and used warp to give it a curve also used Ctrl I to change the thread from black to white. Took the heart and copied it twice. Each time I rotated it some, changed the size and the color.
Brush – Used Take flight 3.3 in white over the black area.
Words – Word transfer starry with Blend Mode soft light. Typed “Endless Universe” for the title. Also use the beaded word love over the middle of the page.
