The ducks were playing in the pond and I was playing with all the new ArtPlay Manly products. There were many things I tried and used but ultimately didn't keep and have not noted in my process.
my page process: I added 5 Artsy Kardz, 2 Artsy Transfers and 1 transfer to my Photoshop Elements page. I arranged, removed, blended and duplicated layers covering 90% of the page to resemble an analog paper collage. Added a background paper and then flattened all layers into a composite layer. I turned of original layers. Clipped composite layer to a rotated torn edge template. Added a dark backgound paper and turned on a few composite layers that had been turned off so they now showed on dark background. Added a multimedia frame and clipped my photo (tried 5 other photos first). Added parts of a Manly multimedia button cluster. From my own scanned artwork, adjusted and extracted a doodled flower and placed in frame.
