I love what everyone is doing with this lift, and had to give it a try, although it is quite different for me (I actually love seeing differences in my books).

After creating a Plain Paper background, I drew lines with the line tool. Then I made a Custom Mask with FotoBlendz Overlays, duplicating, rearranging, brushing and erasing to showcase the parts of the red tree in a nice shape. The Postage Frame was placed on top, and three copies of the photo clipped to the masks. Added two more photos with different masks. Splatters are from the Artsy Layered Template.
This approach worked out well for this second visit to the Portland Japanese Gardens, since I included a lot of photos from the first trip on other pages - here I only needed a couple of highlights!
