Notes: After running the photo of the ladies through a few actions, including double exposes it, I brought it into a new 12 x12 file. Using artsy paper 4 from Enroute and placing the mask from the brashest in the kit, I clipped the ladies down. The mask and photo are on Normal blend mode. I used a Color Overlay on the ladies, taking a blue shade from the challenge color palette, turned down the opacity and blended the Color Overlay to Hue.

After bringing in the woman graphic with her smart phone and placing her approximately where I wanted her, I stamped the New York scene behind her and duplicated it, recoloring to lighter shade of blue and blending the top stamp to Linear Burn. I made the woman graphic into a sticker with a style I have and placed the postage stamp frame over her hand with the phone.

I typed out the title in white with the Vertical Type Tool, gave it a bevel and emboss and turned down the fill opacity and placed the word art above it and the woman.

Fleshing out the layout with transfers and overlays from Enroute and various brushes, including the paper brush along the right side of the photo with the ladies, I added a stain just below them in blue and clipped a reduced size of the photo to it. I added the word back to the word art and I think that just about covers the process I used on this page.
