Process: I started with an artsy paper from ArtPlay Palette Veranda and placed it as foundation. I added a fotoblendz from Veranda FotoBlendz No 1 and clipped my photo to this. I used the brushes in ArtPlay Palette Veranda on a layer mask to decrease but also increase the size and shape of the fotoblendz. I duplicated the photo twice and one of the photo layers got a High Pass filter to get more contrast. The blending mode was set to Overlay for the filter. I added a lot of adjustment layers to the photo to change colors, hue/saturation, lights and contrast. I placed some brushes from ArtPlay Palette Veranda above the photo and changed the colors to some already found on the backgroundpaper and in the photo. I added embellishments from ArtPlay Palette Veranda and MultiMedia Flowers No 9. I finished the layout with the letters on the string and the title from Grow WordART Mix No 1.
