Well who could resist playing with such a delightful kit immediately. Well not quite immediately for me as I got very busy and spent most of Thursday 1st September in the dentist chair.
Anyway, I downloaded and installed this fabulous kit and started off by making my own overlay.
To do this, I made a transparent blank background 12" x 12" at 300ppi. Then cut and copied part of one of the 4 way prints and played with the opacity and flow. Added a couple of the cute semi transparent images and then on the 4 way print layer erased a very large circle using a very fuzzy and very large brush and ended up with what you see above.
Then I opened up a new transparent background, 12" x 12" at 300ppi and dragged in this overlay. Added a white fill layer beneath the overlay and now I am ready to start.
Create a new layer above the overlay and set the blend mode to overlay. Select your brush and color and start painting. I make my opacity around 11 or 12%.
I hope you can see this, but the shading around the plant and the butterflies has become much brighter.
Now we can start to build the page.
I have brought in a stamp, frame and mask from my stash and I will be playing around with all these momentarily. First I have to find a good photo to use here.
Found the photo and have come up with this.
I hope you like what I have made here.
