My Process: I began with the paper from AP Bliss that had the wonderful patterned embossed texture. I opted to rotate the paper so that the pattern went from side to side. I added the MMBliss ribbon frame, and attached the photo to the clipping mask. I froze the words from the ribbon frameI moved the elements around a bit, and added some urban stitches and the key from APBliss. I added the MetalWord, and added the word WINTER, in a very pale blue, giving it a deep shadow at a low opacity. I also gave the word WINTER a thin gray stroke. I overlapped the two words, and also used the velvet heart from APBliss, along with the red heart from MMBliss, which I re-colored to a very pale, ice blue. I took the spatters from a variety of the MMBliss files, and added them throughout in both black and white, and then took the long thin beige transfers from APBliss, desaturated it, and copied it along each edge to make an edge overlay. To this overlay, I added two more, one what was dark gray, and the other in a medium blue, placing them on blend mode multiply. I repeated the scripttease from the ribbon frame, and added it in additional places through the page, masking some areas out.
