The Process
I began with the selection of a solid background paper from AP Autumn Elegance and layered another paper (paper 4) over it and changed the blending mode to darken so that just the inked edges showed. I clipped my photo to a brush from the kit, duplicated the photo and used the artistic filter underpainting for some textured and changed the blending mode to hard light, reducing the opacity. I layered a frame above the photo. Next I worked on the pumpkins by adding an inverted layer mask (black) and using a soft chalk brush, began painting back in some of the photo. I added a transfer from the kit and changed the blending mode to hard light and reduced the opacity. I duplicated this group 2 more times, changed the direction and size to fill in the page. I finished the page by adding elements, multimedia branches, transfers, stitchez (love the new Urban Stitchez Pumpkins 1!) and word art.
