First thing that I did on this LO was to extract Maxine's ear outside of the circle frame. I made an extra third layer of the photo on the bottom that I left color and then I made the top two layers black and white. Then I erased the kitty's face on the two black and white layers. This got rid of an annoying yellow color that was behind the kitty while still keeping the color of the kitty. I also did the double layer trick on the fish bowl and erased where the ladder was in front of the bowl.

I added the tree to the background by changing the blending mode to Luminosity and then lowering the opacity. I also lowered the opacity on the scattered flowers and the leaf wreaths. Other than that I added elements and drop shadowed them to taste.

This was fun to make! Things that I did on this one. First I added shadow on the blue background where the floor meets the wall by burning. I used a pretty big brush and put the opacity at around 2o something. I did two strokes arcoss the background where the floor meets and then one stroke across just above that. But you can eye it so that it looks good to you. I also lowered the opacity on the word art and I put the mouse into the balloon. The bubbles I made gradually smaller as they go up the page to give the impression that they were further, blowing away.

First I took a photo of myself and placed it over the background using blending mode Soft Light. Then I took the heart element and made the red mesh using Atomic Cupcake's Mesh effect. I also lowered the opacity on the word art. Other than that I just placed the elements and added the drop shadows.

Dream little one...

This one uses tons of blending into the background and then shadowing the elements that are being blown by the wind... I used two kits by NewLife Dreams. Dream Little Mouse and The Invisible World.

All you need is love...

This is pretty much a direct scraplift of the Sydney example LO for the kit All you need is love by Natali Designs. There is just an amazing amount of detail in her LO too...

The only interesting thing that I did with this kit was to combine two of the partial flowers together to make them one. I also did a lot of element interacting by making two layers of an element and putting another element inbetween them and erasing the desirable places on the top layer of the two... Then you add the shadow to the bottom layer of the pair...
