Someone is getting in the Christmas spirit
I created a mask by layering brushes from Ap Frozen and Ap Summers end until I got the shape I wanted, flattened then clipped the photograph to the mask. The photograph was a bit dark so it is duplicated a couple of times with the top layers on soft light (100%) and Linear dodge (70%). Underneath the photograph is a selection of transfers and overlays, bottom two on linear burn mode and another on multiply. The rest is achieved with the wonderful MM branches and some beaded word art!
