A little late for Mother’s Day (because I tend to ignore it). My mother, Carol Ann, Oct. 19, 1936-Dec. 20, 1992. She was a saint, loved by all and a wonderful mother to five kids. It’s been over 30 years since she was taken from us far too soon, and I still miss her dearly.

I started with the Stitched Template Pack 1 and Truth Artsy Paper 4. I clipped my photos to the fotomasks and masks. I turned off fotomask 2 to let the transfer/paper below show through. I desaturated the photos and added color back with Color Fill, Hue/Saturation, and or Levels Adj. Layers, and clipped transfers from the palette to some photos, with various blending modes. I selected all the layers in the template and transformed/reduced to increase the border. I added elements, lace, word art, button threadz, Artsy Stains, dates and text box.
