Just taking a breather from the Christmas rush to make something for my daughter's scrapbook.

Process:
I removed the frames from the template and used the paint layers as clipping masks for the photo and vintage map. I dragged in an artsy paper from the Autumn Cheer Artplay Palette, then positioned the extraction, which I duplicated twice and blended with Hard Light and Multiply modes. Then I built up a few layers behind the extraction with transfers from the same artplay palette and various brushes. I continued to stamp brushes on the background, then added the clocks and compasses, using various blending modes for some of them to give a different look. I added the suitcase last, for a touch of whimsy.
