Process
A solid white paper from APP Outer Space was used for the background. A 12 x12 Page FotoBlendz mask was layered on the page. Using the marquee tool, strips were cut out. The red pattern paper from APP Red White Blue was clipped to the fotoblendz, creating the stripes. A layered fotoblendz mask was placed above the stripes with a star image that I created clipped to it. The photo was changed to black and white to get a crisper image (very yellowed), then extracted. A custom shadow was added. The layers were merged together and clipped to a Simple FotoBlendz mask. This gave the hazy look at the bottom of the image. The extracted photo was duplicated and a layer mask was added, hiding the bottom portion of the photo. I scanned the dictionary definitions and created a brush and then stamped them on the flag and image. Stars, overlays, brushes, stitchez and word art were added to complete the page.

Thank you for looking!
