Process Notes: Using artsy paper 1 I placed and duplicated the photo of the clothesline and moved them into place, blending to Multiply to blow out the dull white sky. Using a mask, I masked away parts I didnt want with a soft round brush at a lower opacity.

After placing the Blossom mask and photo of the woman hanging the wash, I clipped the photo down. I clipped the Easter Chicks pattern paper 1 over the photo and blended to Linear Burn and 88% opacity. Pulling in Blossom transfer 3 over the photo, blended it with Overlay and 61% opacity. I duplicated the transfer and placed it in the bottom right of the layout leaving it on Normal and 61% opacity. Placing a brush from Blossom to frame the photo, I clipped Blossom solid paper 3 leaving the brush on Normal and 100% opacity. Then I added brush 5 from the palette and clipped solid paper 2 from Easter Chicks. I beveled and embossed the brush to bring out the lacy look of the brush.

I brought in the bokeh, leaving it on Normal but blurring it and turned down the opacity 32%. Over the bokeh I placed the FotoGlow, blended to Lighter Color with 100% opacity.

Placing transfer 2 at the left edge of the page and under the photo layers, leaving it at Normal and 100% opacity. I also added FotoTransfer No. 1 under the photo and blending it to Overlay at 100% opacity. I positioned the tape texture over the transfer to give the impression of cloth.

From there I added the journaling, notebook lines and title using the acrylic alpha and positioning Monday under it.

Adding the button and choosing threads that looked like they were also waving in the wind, and the line overlay, I called it done.
