Divinity in a bottle

Those of you who know me personally know that Im a huge fan of Wild Appetite Products - . I went to their outlet store again today ( I say again because I tend to be a regular there!!. Anyway apart from buying a few Christmas presents. I just HAD to buy a new product they had on display - Limoncello Sauce - WOW - this stuff is just plain divine - Im a big lemon fan - if its not lemon or chocolate its not a dessert!!
I plan to use this new sauce in some little tarts for our christmas drinks on Sunday . Im thinking I will make some butter pastry tart cases in mini muffin tins - and put a dollop of mascapone or cheesecake mix even - in the bottom and then top them with the limoncello sauce . Now this sauce isnt for the light hearted - it contains 15% vodka - but ooooooooh eeeeeeeeeee - its YUM.
I also tasted a raspberry one they are bringing out soon - I think I will be making another trip back very soon to buy some of that too!!

Two completely different layouts from one Overlay Stack

I thought it would be useful to show here 2 completely different layouts made with the same overlay stack - this just goes to show how versatile they can be





With this first layout I used a soft light mode on the green layer which shows the canvas texture but not so much of the cracked paint look



For this layout the photo is black and white but I duplicated the green layer and used a multiply mode on one of them - then lowered the opacity of the top one and had a normal blend mode . The Breathtaking word art has a difference blend mode .I also didnt use the fern layer on this layout

New Product type - Overlay Stacks

Thanks to Jamie from DSP we now have a new product type - Overlay Stacks - these basically consist of up to 5 layers which can be stacked over a photo - the premise is that each layer can be used in a different way by changing the blend mode and opacity according to the users whim.
They certainly make for a quick layout which is quite arty.
here are my first two that are now in the DSP store
