Process: I first worked with the photos, attaching to the base of each photo a poster edge filter before adding another layer on overlay. I also added a hue and saturation layer to adjust the color of the water to match the AP. Then I moved over three masks from the Beach templates. I clipped each photo to a mask and resized them to create perspective. Once I had them placed, I grouped them to make them easier to move. Next, I began playing with the transfers, placing transfers_ 5, 9 and 8 below the photos. I duplicated transfer_8 and placed it above photo group 3. Below the transfers, I placed a texture and taped texture. I placed solid paper_5. On the left I added a word transfer from AP H2O. To created the title, I clicked the create warped text icon and chose flag, adjusting the curve to fit my focal photo. Since this has a artsy graphic feel, I used a traditional font, Adobe Garamond Pro with the blend mode on soft light. I added the charm and stitching. I placed the word art, recolored and on linear light blend mode below my journaling.
