This was a fun challenge to experiment & play with blending & altering notions.
process: Began with clipping a photo (Moraine Lake) to a layered fotoblendz and recoloured stain layers. Extracted bronze hiker from photo and added backpack notion. Clipped a plaid paper to backpack & blended to hiker. Added APP brushes to create base/ground for the hiker. Created title with wordart and beads. Added hiker charm and clipped plaid paper for colour. Finished by blending a solid paper and plaid paper for background. Tweaked colours and layers with more blending modes, opacity and colour modifications.
