A page for my daughter's wedding album.
I started this layout by blending the photo into the background with a Fotoblendz, using color burn blending mode on the photo, converting the Fotoblendz mask to a layer mask to achieve the maximum blended effect. I then duplicated the photo and repeated the process with two other Fotoblendz until the image area was adequately revealed.
For the background, and somewhat on the foreground, I added texture and colorand that delicious artstroke--by dragging in Artsy Kardz layers, enlarging them as needed to fit my layout. I finished off with embellishments.
