The rain has momentarily cleared the smokey skies so I'm finishing up playing with all the new products & going out to take more pictures.
PSE process: Began by making a frame cluster & clipping my photos. Added a leaf cluster & masked parts, added layers from wordart cluster & a sun notion. Adjusted placement of the string, button included with frames & added a hiker notion. Altered hiker with a clipped layer of coloured brush distressing to brighten it. Built background with a solid paper & two artsy kardz. Added drop shadows & placed tape textures below for extra texture. Finished with my journaling & minor adjustments to colours & layer placements.
