My inspiration for this page was the beautiful colors of the Artsy Transfers with the APP Bespoke. Then I had some pictures from the coast I took this past weekend.

Process: I started by adding Artsy Transfers 2, 3, and 5 to the page. Since none of these transfers seemed to have a prominent place for a photo, I opened Downtown FotoBlendz 1.2. I duplicated it and merged the copies. Next, the Mask was rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Using Layer>Create Clipping Mask, I attached my photo to the Mask. Solid Paper 2 I positioned above the background. The picture seemed to be disappearing like in a fog, so I played with Blend Modes, and Levels. Finally, I noticed that in the layer column, I had my photo below the Artsy Transfers. When I moved the transfers below the picture, my problem was solved. Sometimes you just get lost in the art and forget the basics. Now I used Darken Blend Mode on the Mask and made two copies of the photo at different Blend Modes and Opacities. The picture now stood out the way I wanted and yet mixed with the transfers to give the feeling of the storm passing by and the waves pounding the beach.

I added the leaves from the framed Mask that came with the bonus for the APP. Above that, the heart and an UrbanStitches. The title Fly By called for a little maneuvering. I add a Mask to the word Be and masked away the "e." AAnother Mask was added to Fly masking the "Fl." Then I combined the two to create the word "by." A word transfer added to the page. Also, I placed one of the clocks in the upper right corner, and I used Ctrl>I to change it to white. I used a layer from Artsy Transfer 1 to help contain the picture on the right side.

The last thing I added was the journaling, and this completed my page.
