This is inspired by two things, one I was posting the sepia photo to my 365 Project and all the news on Dorian. I decided to post all monotone using the sepia photo for a break in color. Also to post only lighthouses sans lighthouse keepers homes.

I like three frames or two frames and a mask but decided to find three frames linked together so in LR I looked through my supplies at the various Artsy Layered Templates that I have. I chose the three from Artzy Layered Template 295. I mean, why recreate the wheel when Anna as done all the work all ready. So I clicked on the first layer of the frames and Shift clicked on the last layer and then dragged them onto my page. I placed them about where they were on the original template.

I used Edit>Create Clipping Mask to attach all three of my pictures to the frames. I wanted a dark background with maybe a bit of color, so I chose Solid Paper 5. I tried to use transfers and brushes to create my own bit of color behind the pictures. The brushes mainly added to the look of clouds blown in the wind. Transfer 7 was placed behind but sort of in the middle of the three photos. Over the top of this, I put the Gold Paint, and then Overlay1 was set on the left edge. The rest was various brushes used. To contain the photos.

Next, I added some elements like the green frame behind one of the pictures. Then key and the foliage over another. I placed an Urban Threadz Flower over the green frame and the photo. I used Brushed-Edge-Overlays-No 1 but used Cntrl I and reduced the opacity to about 40%.

I chose the WordArt Change is coming.... because a hurricane is a change in weather. But decided to put the white tape under it so you could see it better. Lastly, part of a poem by Norma Beaird for the journaling. Hoping everyone is safe as Dorian winds up the coast.
Stunning, love the framing and the color photo with the black and white ones.
 
Superb results from your inspiration, Joan! Love this trio of lighthouse photographs against the dark background!
