Been awhile since ART has been able to find an opening from my heart to the canvas. This piece has been unfolding for a bit and finally feels right and feels good to create something with an inspiring message and LOVE the feel of brushing and blending and creating.............donna

ART Process-
The FotoInspired LT was resized and tweaked slightly. Papers and transfers and brushes were clipped and blended to multiple areas of the LT.

WordART and WordTransfers were also blended into the ART layers. Use your WordART and word pieces as brushes or elements that act as ART within the design, yet also function to convey the message of the ART.

A frame was placed at the bottom of the layers palette and the darken blending mode was applied to create the framed and shadowed effect.

More brushes and transfers were blended into the design. Dont be afraid to use pieces of your brushes and transfers by using the erase tool or the Marquee tool.

UrbanKorners and tape anchor the ART to the Background paper.

thanks for looking.donna
