Process: I started with an artsy paper from ArtPlay Palette Hackneyed and placed it as the background. I added the photo, placed it over a dark part of the background paper and changed the blending mode to Lighten. I then addad an adjustment layer for Brightness/Contrast and increased the light. I placed a transfer and an overlay from the ArtPlay Palette behind the photo and changed the blending mode for the overlay to Color Burn. In this way I got more visibility back of the photo. Then I added the paws and crumpled paper from DogSampler No. 1. I placed leaves, the wordstrip and brushes from the ArtPlay Palette Hackneyed. I finished the layout with the BeadedThreadz and ScriptTease from Dog WordART Mix No. 1 and the word Adore as the title. The word Adore got the blending mode Exclusion and I added masks to both the title and ScriptTease for the editing.
