Process:
The APP paper (AP4) was placed on a background
The MRT9_3 mask, stains, and paper layer were next placed; The Pixabay photo was clipped to the MRTA mask
My photo was extracted and placed on its own layer of the layout; a copy of the original photo was placed above the extraction, and image was masked back in. This yielded a sharper finish on some areas of the photo.
WA and MM elements finished the layout.

Thank you for looking.
