I'm experimenting with some (subtle) changes for 2025 - less photos, more artistry, since scrapping is my primary artistic outlet.
Style is familiar - large photo in the background, blended with Fortuna FotoBlendz (another subtle change - I often used to choose a FotoBlendz and duplicate it; here I dragged them all in and arranged them for coverage - this way I get the best of the textures and edges) over Fortuna Artsy and Solid Papers, with Transfers added.
I used the Artsy Template Frames on the right, the Palette Frame on the left.
Blended another photo in Pin Light mode, reduced opacity, with a brush texture added to anchor it, then another copy in Normal mode, reverse masked with a few very light areas brushed back in.
A few key elements added, with a Gradient Overlay to make them more golden.
