Sometimes I create quote pages as a little kick in the pants for myself. Quote: "Remembering that you are going to die is the best way to know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." Steve Jobs

Photo: Mine
Process Notes: Placing the fotoblendz on artsy paper 1 from the palette, I clipped the photo to it and blended the mask to Color Burn after resizing both. Below the clipped photo, I placed the paper texture and above and at the right edge the old script is positioned. I recolored it and blended to Linear Burn.
Typing out the quote, I placed the notebook lines, adjusting its size and the leading of the type to fit. Placing the word art title, I recolored to a grey and used the Blend Ifs. I also added the journey word transfer at the top of the page and blended to Color Burn.
Adding the birds, postage stamps to the page and urban thread around the sun, I brought in a couple of warm glows and blended those to Color Burn and Overlay and turned down the fill opacity. These brought out the sun, the textures in the paper and the photo a little more. That finished this simple page. I let all the artsy bits in the paper do all the heavy lifting.
