The Process
I selected a solid paper from Anna's new AP Arrive as the base to work from. For the main photo I duplicated it, converted the top photo to black and white and changed the blending mode to hard light. I added a layer mask and erased around the sunglasses to let the color section show through. I merged these layers and then clipped them to a brush from AP Arrive. A frame from the kit was layered below the photo. Several transfers (opacity reduced) were clustered behind the photo also. I added the beach photo to the bottom portion of the page and changed the blending mode to hard light and reduced the opacity to 80%. I duplicated the photo and changed the blending mode to soft light and reduced the opacity to 50%. These two layers were merged and a layer mask was added and with a soft brush I hid the hard edges. Several transfers from AP Arrive and AP Ocean Cove were layered over the photo with blending modes changed and opacities reduced. Tape, a postage edge overlay, elements, and word art were added to complete the page.
