I started by turning the photo more into an illustration using various artistic filters in photoshop. I made several copies of treatments and blended them together by using a layermask. I extracted the woman out of the photo. I opened a new file (lettersized) and placed my extracted lady. I placed a background layer with a paper from AAP Portiere behind her. I placed a frame above her and blended parts of the frame in by using a layermask. I placed the viewfinder element from AAP Portiere above the frame and blended the parts in that showed the hands of the woman through the viewfinder. I gave the viewfinder a dropshadow. I added all the transfers and brushes over the background layer. Some were (re) colored and in a different blendingmode. I made the shadow of the viewfinder by filling it with a dark brown color and giving it a Gaussian blur! I did the same with a heart element. I reduced the opacity. I added all the text and wordarts. I added the elements and gave them shadow. I added the glow over the fiewfinder and used a blendingmode (Vivid light) I duplicated this glow layer. I rotated both layers until I got the colors right. I finished by giving the page a little bit of warmth by using a warm photo filter at 10%.
