This is a simple blended layout. I blended my photo into Yare Artsy Paper #1, then duplicated the photo on soft light blend mode. The wordART cluster is a freebie bonus that came in an email about the ongoing aA Project Class 2023. I augmented the background with the Artsy Transfer that comes with the minipalette, stretching it into a full-page overlay, which I placed behind the photo. I then popped a few of the transfer/overlays from the minipalette onto the design for further enrichment of the background, some with blend mode changes. For embellishment (and to cover up some awkward brush-extraction lines), I used the red wood tree from the APP twice—once on color burn mode and the second time on screen blend mode.
