Internet postcard of divers, clouds, cityscape
Notes in Photoshop Elements 14
This layout has a gazillion layers because I used many of the Multilayered Fotoblendz, clipping the postcard of the divers to each layer in each set. Sometimes I would clip in multiples of the divers, on different blending modes, to get different light effects. But before I did that, I established a background of several layers of storm clouds and a cityscape, all free-use photos obtained fron the internet. Hygge Artsy Paper 1, the top layer-masked away, on color burn blending mode, forms the stone on top of (and in back of) the cityscape. I used brushes, stamped in white, to extend the stonework and texture up the page.
Arranging the divers on the Multilayered Fotoblendz required a lot of tweaking because the divers were right next to the edges of the postcard, which I did not want to show. So I deconstructed and reconstructed each Fotoblendz set as I went. I love these Fotoblendz. They remind me of clouds and were inspirational for my whole Skydiver series.
Somewhere in there I slid in the word art, recolored, and the last touch was the bird flock.
