The Process
I imported AP Authentic artsy paper 6 onto a 12x12 page. Because I wanted the photo to blend in with the textured line and also be higher on the page, I moved the paper a quarter of the way up the page. Then I layered AP Authentic solid 3 below it, using the gradient tool and a layer mask, smoothed the edges together. My photo had a very bright blue sky and I wanted it to be more subdued, so I duplicated it and converted the photo to black and white and the blending mode to soft light with a reduced opacity to let some of the color to come through from the bottom layer. I clipped the layers to a mask from Watercolor FotoBlendz 1. The mask was duplicated and filled with white and move a bit. I duplicated the mask 2 more times and filled with blue, blending mode changed to soft light and offset the masks again. I added the yoga figure, erased the words, changed the blending mode to soft light and duplicated it several times. I layered in the butterflies from MM FlutterBys 3 with the blending mode changed to hard light. A Bokeh 2 color circles and Light Leaks 1 were layered over the figure and butterflies with the blending modes adjusted. Next I layered several frames filled with white from Laced Frames 1 over the photo. Yoga WordArt 1 and Word Transfers Living Well 1 were added along with a brushes and elements to complete the page.
