I started with two parts of a transfer to light up the left side of the background. I resized the striped paper and sat it into blend mode Vivid Light and reduced the opacity a lot. Stain and snowflakes brushes were placed in top of this. Then I put one of the Snowy FotoBlendz in the middle of the page and clipped my photo to it. I used some adjustment layers for my photo: Levels, Curves and Hue/Saturation, because I wanted it to have the light as everything else on the page. A stain at the top of these, in the blend mode Soft Light, gave the look I was looking for. Three wordArts were placed now. The one on the upper left side, I had to reduced the opacity on because it was to dark for the page. I put a flower and a star in the same direction as the arm. I finished the page with a glittering transfer.
