U.S. / Mexican Border

I love the time in which women wore hats!

Journaling reads: RPPC taken at the San Ysidro/Tijuana border crossing around the 1930s. I love that although the women have sombreros, not one of them took off their own hats to put one on, yet every man had his on.

The Process: I began with an Artsy Paper from AP Arrive. I added the photo frame and attached the photograph to it. I then duplicated the photo, and enlarged the size of it, placing it behind the framed photo, I used inverse blending techniques to blend it unto the page, reducing the opacity to about 40%. I added the various elements to the lower right of the page, and then added the scriptTease elements throughout. I added the title, adding a stroke and shadow. I then added the Travel USA Map brushwork, placing it under the title. I added the BigWord Travel in the lower half of the page, and then added the journaling. I finished up by adding additional transfers and TapedTextures, as well as two edge overlays, masking portions of it out. I added the stitching, and was DONE!

Fonts: Capriccio, Adobe Caslon Pro

amazing photo. love how you used it blended in the background and your fantastic choice of fonts.
 
fun! love how you've blended an enlarged version of the photo in the bg so that we can see some of the people a little better. and i love your title work. i cannot tell you how many times i've wanted to send you one of my pages and ask you to help me figure out a title and then do the title work!!!!
