Changes with Vibrant Autumn, a 2014 Oscraps Collab

Every month there is a release of an collab. This time a autumn themed kit. Also we have a collaboration challenge which you can find here.

The challenge was to scrap about a change and to use at least one fall color. I 'm busy composing my yearly scrap album and discovered a lack of Effen scraps. I remembered this oldie from 2011(not difficult at all because it hangs on my wall)

You really see she is the big sister of pieper.  I blended some papers of Vibrant autumn using a layer mask to get the photo clear. I also used a hue/ saturation adjustment layer to get more saturation in the eye. I filled the adj mask with black and painted the eyes back with white

I made a smart object of the frame and Photo, Ctr clicked it and made a work path (right click)

2 Challenges, 3 lay outs

I already finished two Ochallenges, The copy cat and the color

 The Copy Cat Challenge

 You find it here Timounette made a template based on a lay out of a member (this time Angela)

I made this 2 lay outs

I rotated the template 90 degrees CW, clipped the photos. I tried a multi paper approach but that became a mess. I put the elements on its place and made with a rounded custom shape a work path to made a text path I made a whole group from the template(minus back ground) because I want add something extra. That extra became a blended photo

I duplicated my photo tree times. The bottom one got a layer mask (Alt- click for a black lm), I painted the photo "back" and set it on screen, the middle one I clipped to a Anna Aspnes clipping mask (also on Screen) and the top one i clipped to the merged blocks (lin dogde0. I duplicated that one and applied a Acrylic style on it(made by myself, taken from a the layer book of Matt Klokovski). 

Because it was part of a spread I used the same elements in this lay out

I was very proud when two of my lay outs were chosen in the GSO blog

The First ever was a lay out i made with Val C's Art Book freedom release  and a entry for the Art journaling Challenge

Second GSO was given to this lay out. I tried several AnnaChallenges (use numbers, textures) but I was too late with my entries every time
