9/8 Color & 9/6 Peaceful Challenge: "Fill Your Soul"
I started this layout for the Thursday "Peaceful" Challenge and finished it this morning for the Saturday Color one. I actually blended three photos together -- the sunset & my feet, my shadow and another sand one. I also blended in and used filters, etc to put the whole background and different papers together but I really need to start writing down what I do because I could never recreate or remember all the steps and pieces!
EDIT: I just remembered that I made the large shadow pic into a brush, then used it as a mask and clipped it to the sand. But I as wanted the silhouette to fit into the background/sand pic, I made multiple layers of the sand so it would be exact. And I used different blends on the many different layers and pieces 'til I was happy with it.
I spent a much-needed few days rest at the shore in July. Water and the beach always is so peaceful and soothing for me.
Journaling reads:
"I am in meltdown... "Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away." Barbara DeAngelis... Need to replenish... Water soothes me... I love the beach and hot sand and sound of boats and water lapping against the shore... Can I soak it in?... "Look within!... The secret is inside you." Hui-neng... I don't feel it... I'm not always sure I want to know the secret... OR, me... "

AFT Beachcomer Paper Special
ASO SS Styles: glitter glows 6501
