Process: I began with my photo, using a layer mask to delete the background. I then duplicated the copy twice. On the first copy, I found the edges, changed the blend mode to multiply and set the opacity at 35%. On the second copy, I applied a watercolor filter and reduced the opacity to 25%. I then began creating a background. I used a solid paper_1 from ArtPlay Autumn Soul as a foundation. Above that I place the chevron paper_8 from Infatuated at 75% opacity. Next is solid paper_2 on multiply at 100%. I attached a black and white adjustment layer to this paper and set the opacity at 75%. Next I placed the word overlay_2 from ArtPlay Story, changed the blend mode to linear burn and the opacity to 50%. I used two stained edge overlays to add depth and interest to the background, reducing the opacity and blend mode to about 25%. I added the words from Michael Rosens book and used the tag from ArtPlay Classico for a little journaling and the date. I placed a couple of brushes below the tag for a foundation. For my title, I clipped a dot paper, above which I added a black and white adjustment layer, to the desaturated alpha and changed its blend mode to linear burn.
