I have to admit I don't use APP Brushes a lot but I would like to try using them more in the future. I decided to try using some brushes as a mask to attach photos to. My first attempt went horribly. I decided to try another day and let the idea turn over in my mind.

Process: I used several brushes grouped together to create a mask (usually 3 or 4). I placed each brush on a separate layer and then grouped the layers together. Then using Layer>Create Clipping Mask to attach the photos to the grouped masks. I then used the Rectangular Marquee Tool to create a rectangle around the picture as a frame. I used Edit>Stroke set at 25 pixels and inside with an appropriate color chose. Now I created a new layer below the masks and used mostly the stain brushes to add color that flowed sometimes outside the frame. I did this at least three times in each group. On top of the photos, I added a layer and used a stain brush which I changed the blend mode - one to Lighten and one to Hard Mix. On a couple, I added some splatter brushes on a separate layer.
Once I had each flower group done I grouped each of them. I added a paper texture outside one of the frames and added a similar one inside the frame. Then I used the charcoal brushes three times, two of which I made smaller and reduced opacity. Lastly, I added word art as the title. I stopped here as for me this was enough on one page.
Love it or Hate it that's okay because I haven't decided it I love ir or hate it. But I love that I tried something new.
