I used the NBK Art Crush 49 kit. Nothing else. For my alpha, I typed out my words and used my photo of the pumpkin soup I made as a clipping mask. If you look carefully, you can just about see the spoon in the burgundy bowl. I m never making that recipe, it was so bland! I had to keep adding more spices until it tasted better and my added more cinnamon to it. Ugh, the veggie lentil soup here is a winner.
