I thought this page I did back in 2009 fit Patti's 2012 challenge (ThursFS0510) pretty well , so I've updated my description to add it to that gallery too. This was originally a digi challenge (DGC039) to combine techniques. (You can find the challenge here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers.
For this page I used a photo of my DGD that I had touched up and aged for a recent Jessica Sprague digi class I took. I used a light gold bg paper that had the lines and a little grunge on it. I enlarged the photo, reduced the opacity, and used it as an overlay over the bg. Next I added the original photo with a clipping mask. I then added the butterfly, string and a few geranium images I pulled off the internet (I reduced the opacity on them too.) I found a quote I liked and added it using a font named Renaissance. Once in a while I like to do something a little artsy. I kinda like it!

I have to say I agree with all, this is stunningly (is that a word, lol) beautiful. You have put everything together to make a real work of art. I hope you frame this and give it to your DGD, or DGD's Mother. It would make a really memorable gift from "Grandma".
