What is the opposite of working out on a treadmill ... sitting on the beach, enjoying the warm ocean breeze!

Process
Solid papers 2 and 4 from APP Coolth were used as the foundation of the page. Solid 4 paper was layered first, duplicated with the blending mode changed to multiply. These layers were merged together. Solid paper 2 was layered onto the page. Using a gradient layer mask the two papers were blended together, leaving the top of the page, blue and the bottom of the page sandy. Several fotoblendz masks were layered on the photo, covering it. The masks were merged (creating a larger, customized fotoblendz mask). The photo was clipped to the mask. Transfers from the kit were added (the level adjustment tool was used to lighten the colors). The overlay from the kit was layered onto the page with solid paper 1 clipped to it. Brushes from the kit were added, recolored to add some texture. Paper textures were added around the photo to give it some dimension. An Oasis 2 brush was stamped onto the page with a paper from APP Storm (color adjusted) clipped to it. Word art, dimensional embellishments, artstroke and splatters completed the page.

Thank you for looking!
