Process Notes: Starting with artsy paper 2 as my foundation I brought in the photos and masks, positioning and resizing to my liking, clipping the duplicated photos to the masks. I have to say that I tinkered with this throughout the building of this layout. It was an ongoing process as I continued to build.
First, I duplicated the framed no. 2 mask two more times, positioning, resizing, rotating and distorting one by holding the CMD/CTR key while the photos were clipped to them. I brought the frame and shadow into the layout between the first and second layers, creating an out of bounds look.
Placing the multi media mask at the bottom left half of the framed photos, I duplicated the photo of the daisy face once and used the watercolor filter putting it at Color Burn at 49% opacity. I sketched some lines onto the pedals turning down the opacity of the lines to 41%.
From there I brought in artsy transfers and transfers from the Palette. I placed overlay 1 from the palette under the photo clusters. Dusting tapes, textures, stains, art strokes, paint splats and brushes, adding the artsy touches throughout the page where they fit best in the layers panel.
For the dimensional elements I used the flower and threads and artsy tape along with the butterfly. I put a tiny shadow under the tape turning down the fill opacity to 75% and burned and dodged the tape along the frame lines. With the MM butterfly I moved the shadow using the move tool and blurring the edges as well as turning down the opacity of the shadow to give the impression that it was flying higher off the page. Also, I placed a couple of glows from the MM Flutterbys over a daisy and over the butterfly blending and turning down the opacity. And that completes this layout.
