The Process
I selected an artsy paper from AP Sage for the background and began building the page. First I extracted the asparagus and created a custom shadow behind it. I duplicated the image and using the artistic filter created a poster edge image with the blending mode changed to soft light and reduced the opacity. I merged these layers and duplicated the image again, rotating it horizontally. I clipped an artsy paper from AP Sage to this image and layered several AnnaBlendz Artsy 5 masks over it for added texture. I then highlighted the image (Command + click on the icon in the layers menu) and created a stroke outline on a separate layer. The outline was moved the a bit so that it is offset from the image. I finished the page by adding a variety of plants from different kits, buttons, word art and several transfers from AP Jardinier and AP Sage.
