Quote from Virginia Woolf
Vintage image with scanned ephemera (word snip, pencil drawings, typewriter keys, game dots, graph paper)

Notes in Photoshop Elements 14

This layout started with an idea and the notebook paper (solid paper #5) from the Artplay Palette. I blended in the image with inverted masking, then altered the image, shadowing the eyes to make sunglasses, among other things. I framed the image with a variety of brushes from the Artplay Palette, in different colors. I then worked the transfer/overlay file, sliding these under, over, and on top of the paper, image, and brushwork. I recolored overlay #3 with a solid-color fill layer set on color burn to match the red, and liked how it turned into a fiery orb...a feeling every writer needs for motivation now and again. The embellishments came last, with a crosshatch filter being used on the little succulent and three Multimedia Documents being positioned toward the bottom of the layer stack. For last touches, I slipped a Fotoblendz in behind the image (they all come with script layers!) and clipped a paper to it; for additional texture I added artsy paper 3 on top of the layer stack on multiply mode at reduced opacity and the Easy Torn Edge. A warm gold gradient evened out the color tones.
Layer upon layer of goodness. You take me back to the days I used to do paper collages and I love that. Wonderful piece of art!
 
The lined paper makes a wonderful white space! Wonderful art journal style.
