I combined pieces and parts of Artsy and Solid papers and Transfers to get what I wanted where (just making them all and using erasers and brushes to modify the clipping masks.)
Used a Verdure FotoBlendz on the right, duplicating the "blendz" part for greater coverage of the huge beech tree in our neighborhood.
