I started my composition by compositing together an art doll from various copyright-free images on the internet, blending components together with the Artsy Brushes, and using scale techniques often employed by my friend Nancy Gene Armstrong in her collage work. I made a background from Opacus Solid Paper 1 over Inclement Artsy Paper 5 on multiply blending mode and then dragged in the birdhouse, butterfly, and key. The journal and title came next.

With these fundamentals in place, I enriched the composition using a variety of brushes, each on its own layer, some in black, some in colors sampled from the layout. I added the big blue dots to complement the little blue minidots on the birdhouse and background.
Wonderful and so true. We fade into smallness and we offer the key.
 
Incredibly cool collage! Really am loving the look of this. Of course I love the hand and key, but I also love the butterfly placement. Like butterflies in your stomach.
 
Extraordinary art journaling, Laura! Stunning background and varied scale for your creative collage! I can see it on a canvas or framed!
