My Process: I began with an artsy Paper, and added the photo in the frame. I then began adding addition brustwork and tranfers from AP Oasis. I started to play around with various elements, and decided to layer the elements along the left side of the photo. I added the sting of beads, but just want a pit of their color to pop out, so I masked out a portion. I then added the word art. I created a few layers of the word art, applying a stroke and shadow to just the top layer, erasing the dots around the word paradise, so that they did not have the stroke and shadow. I added the stitching and threads, and in the end decided to add a second frame, and changed its color to the deep yellow tint. Then, once I considered the layout complete, I scaled the photo and all its elements down, and repositioned it in various places until I was happy with the size and positioning.

Thanks for looking
