Notes: With artsy paper 3 and bringing in the fotoblendz overlay, I clipped the photo to it and blended the mask to Color Burn. Over the photo set I placed a photo of a texture and blended to Overlay and used a layer mask and gradient tool to get rid of the top harsh edge of the texture photo. I added a paper texture to the shore line of the scenic photo.

In the layers panel, over the photo set, I placed the gnarly tree using Adjustments/Threshold and blending it to Multiply to get rid of the pale sky. At the bottom of the tree, I used a layer mask and stain brush to get rid of the harsh line. I added tissue textures over and between these layers and blended to Linear Burn.

Bringing in the flower from Anaphora and duplicating it several times and distributing over the tree I added drop shadows of various depths to each of them.

I typed out the title and the definition and slipped the vellum underneath. The page was finished.
