I like to set my photos against a backdrop of the ocean, because that's how we live.
The large photo is blended with Equinox FotoBlendz (duplicated 4-5 times). An additional photois overlaid in Overlay mode to add more bright blue.
Just a few photos of a rather rare day of Oz at the beach, set in and on ArtsyKardz as mattes. I move the photo down the Kardz layer stack to get some of the Transfers and Splatters above the photo. A large drop shadow added to the final Paper Layer of the Kardz as well as the photo.
Searched for some pine cones and pine branches to add for the tree-climbing adventure, pulling in various elements, splatters, etc for visual triangles.
