Captivated Visions Mishmash Blendme Stash 6

Process:  I wanted to combine a couple of papers and get a muted effect so I used one of CV mishmash masks, love how this shows bits and pieces of each paper.  I added the photos, the chalk board one is my daughters board she keeps the stats of Risa on, when I pulled it up to show the pounds and inches the “Eight” disappeared, so I used the font “Return to Sender”, it fit the board perfectly!  I finished off with transfers and elements to add a bit of color to the background….

My granddaughter Sydney back in 2009, her nickname at the time was Birdie, hence the little bird attached to the banner.

ArtPlay Bask (Edge Transfer)
http://www.oscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=30884&page=1

Process:  I placed a background paper and placed my photo over it.  I enlarged the photo to cover the whole page, but I wanted some of the paper to show through, so under the photo I created a mask and clipped the photo to it.  I started to erase some more of the mask, like under the waves to bring in some of the blue color of the paper.  I added a frame and a second photo and used my color balance to add more blue to the photo, so it would blend in with the page so far.  I placed various transfers to add some texture and color fluctuations.  Added the stained Edge overlay and clipped one of the solid papers to it, duplicated the paper layer and used multiply to darken it a bit.  Added wordart and created a lable using Liny’s tutorial, which you can find on Anna’s blog http://annaaspnes.typepad.com/anna/2014/06/tutorial-wordart.html

Finished off by adding some bokeh to make it feel like the water was sparkling from the sun hitting it and another edge overlay.

Process:  Placed background papier, decided where I wanted to place my photo, added Watercolor FotoBlendz behind photo.  Tweaked colors a bit using my adjustment curve filter and using blend mode color burn and turning down the opacity to about 33%.  Added frame and elements.  I decided I wanted to extend the water of the lake down a bit so I added the mélange texture and filled it with the color of the lake just a bit darker.  Added strokes and splatters to finish it off.
