Created with Take Me to the Ocean, http://www.oscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=10013212 an Oscraps Collab.
When I saw the Take Me to the Ocean collab, I knew it was time to scrap one of my beach photos. For this layout, I combined three papers to create the background. I then set the blend mode to Darker Color for the photo. I also clipped a paper to the photo and set that to Soft Light. Then I added my elements. I wasn't really creating an art journal page, but I wanted to give the page a bit more of an artsy feel.
