One of the fun things I like to do is double up on masks. One for the actual photo and under it use a different mask for a paper as a blending option. Sometimes like here, I like to sneak an element between the two masks
just to add interest and if I am lucky a little more depth.
The paper already had lovely stains so I just added an overlay in some areas to create more texture on top. Lastly I cobbled together a cluster, added word art and all done.
