Process:
I clipped my photo to a brush from the Destiny Artplay Palette and added a solid neutral paper underneath. I dragged in Autumn Cheer ArtsyTransfer #2 and it landed under the paper, so, because it was easiest, I blended the paper into the transfer using the multiply mode. I pulled in ArtsyTransfer #1 beneath the other transfer for more texture and color, adjusting it only slightly. I added the journaling and a few transfers/overlays from the Artplay Palette, then the FotoGlow behind the photo--the light was already there, but I wanted to amp it up just a bit with the Glow. And then came the black scuff. I couldn't get the right look with brushes, but by sheer serendipity, when I pulled in transfer #3 from the Artplay Palette and set it on vivid light, everything disappeared but...exactly the scuff I was looking for. I added a couple of buttons and it was done.
