Process:
This layout started with the three-part frame in the Milestone MiniI positioned it and slipped the photo underneath. I moved an Artsy Transfer on top of the photo to cover it, then used inverted masking to reveal the parts of the photo I wanted. Once I had the image right, I built up the background with transfers and brushes, then framed the image further with the multimedia branches, stitches, and word art. The stains and more brushwork came last.
