Process: I began by applying a Topaz Impression filter to a copy of the background photo. I reduced the opacity to 50% and clipped it the the fotoblendz overlay. Next, I placed solid paper_2 from the AP. and attached a gradient mask.I then placed some layers from Artsy Transfers Sunkissed above the photo. I eliminated some layers and worked on the opacity of others. Above that are two overlays from the AP. The title is a combination of two pieces from the new word art. I combined two psd files to create a custom sun for my page and tucked it behind the title. I extracted a few tulips from another photo, gave them a shadow and placed them at the lower left. I finished my page with two buttons, a ladybug, some threads, splatters and journaling. If you curious about the striped paper, I share a few thoughts on that here here.

Thanks for looking!
