The Process: I began by blending the photo into the background paper. I then placed a number of transfers from the new AP Memorable, and one from AT Winter Sunrise (freezing some of the layers). I placed a number of the new ArtsyStains as well, changing their color and blend modes through the page. All these items were placed under the photo layer. I added the Faded Words, and the MM Frame. I duplicated the photo, clipping it to the frame clipping mask. I then faded the original blended photo just a bit. I duplicated the photo in the frame, and then placing it above the frame invert masked it, painint back in the the portions that extended beyond the frame. I added the banner, and a loopdaloop, and added an anchor to the end of the loopdaloop. I then took the Anchor brush from AP Find My Way 2, and changed its color to the same as the background paper, and used the emboss filter. I placed this under the little anchor. I added the text by the anchor and then added the title. I finished up by adding the brush that looked like folded/torn paper, and placed the button by it. Because the brush was transparent, I had to mask out a portion of the button to make it look like it was under a flap of paper. I then added the edge overlay, changing it to blue.
