Broken Axle

Patriarch Release **new in the aA store tomorrow!**
including Patriarch Artplay Palette. Patriarch WordART Mix 1

It wouldn't be a road trip without a breakdown, and this one involved a broken axle on my daughter's cross-country trip from California to New York. Nonetheless, my grand-dog Buko was able to seize the moment for a pretty cool photo op.

Photoshop Elements 14
I blended the photo of Buko into Artsy Paper #1 on multiply mode, then duplicated the photo and clipped it to Transfer #2 twice, also using multiply blend mode. I added the striped overlay and clipped Solid Paper #2 to it to create gold stripes. To give Buko a bit of a junkyard dog vibe, I adjusted the levels on the photo and then blended the adjustment layer with Color Dodge mode. I claimed space for the title and journaling and then created a visual triangle of tires and circles by extracting the tire from my photo and repeating it here and there in the composition on different blend modes. To reinforce that triangle, and to add pizzazz to the composition, I added rhythmic blue brushwork, also in a triangle. For junkyard grunge, I dropped Artsy Paper 4 into the layer stack on Color Burn blend mode and blended away the odd bits with a layer mask. For embellishment, I loved the cool car transfer from the Element pack of the Artplay Palette.
Sounds like Buko is a good sport! Those colored bars work perfectly with the blended image! Love the "junkyard dog vibe" phrase in your process notes!
 
ouch sorry to hear about the car trouble, that sounds expensive :-( Look at Buko's ears and teeth, I just wanna squeeze him! very cool background blending!
 
OMgosh this is awesome! love the way you blended the photo into the background - love the horizontal yellow stripes - he is a cute dog!
 
Awesome page! Great photo of Buko and I love how your page is so unified with the yellow stripes.
 
Wonderful photo and page! So sorry for the breakdown ... Buko is a real model!
 
So sorry for the car, I love Axel, what a beauty, you are so clever to make a super background, there is so much to see, very creative, an awesome page!!
