A journey of thousand miles begins with a single step!
So true...
Using Anna Aspnes word art
Anna Aspnes Border Overlay
Anna has created an amazing sets of textures that can just be placed over any composition,
as they are very muted and sheer they just display beautiful the colors underneath; these textures are truly amazing.
The border overlays were slightly modified by stretching them with transform function and with the eraser tool to eliminate areas that were conflicting with the composition.
I used various layers of background papers and I used the following blending modes, luminosity, color, exclusion to each paper.
I played with the layer order in the stack.
The focal image was treated with and artistic filter and a cutout effect.
The beautiful word art from Anna is treated with a style effect and I modified accordingly the gradient overlay of the style as well to be properly muted.
