Another Attempt

My sister had been wondering where her baby got his deep blue eyes... no more! Scraplift of Chris's layout for the Designer Digitals Saturday Scraplift. I'm still trudging along trying to figure out how to use patterned papers...

Fonts: You Are Loved, Baby Bowser, and Century Gothic. Tech notes: Photo cropped, eyes slightly lightened with the dodge too--they were so dark that with the resolution you can see here, they appeared black, so I lightened them for the web versions. Copied that layer, then desaturated the top one, and erased the eyes until the blue peeked through. Frame is from a vintage photo; paper is from Dover clipart of a dogwood branch. Other paper is from a brush made with a photo of vintage lace. "2" is grunged and distressed with various brushes, then I used the bevel/emboss layer effect in the down position, with the "shadow" at 100%.
