I followed Adryane Driscolls excellent Cutout Title Tutorial http://www.annaaspnesdesigns.com/cutout-title-tutorial/ on this layout. The quote reads: So, if you are too tired to speak, sit next to me, because I, too, am fluent in silence. R Arnold

Process Notes: Forget Me Not solid paper 1 as my foundation, I placed two masks and clipped the photos to them. I blended one mask to Multiply and the other to Color Burn. Then bringing in three more masks, I clipped papers to them and left two on Normal and the tape layer to Multiply.

Around the edges I placed overlays, recoloring one from the Forget Me Not palette, then placed a transfer on the left edge.

I used the stains over the tree photo and on the right edge and placed the birds over them in the layers panel. Using a layer mask on the striped mask and using a stain brush, I used erased a part of it, then placed a tape on the bottom corner.

I typed out the quote, placed the stitches and button and drop shadow. Then as per Adryanes tutorial, I created the cut out title.
