Process:
I used the artsy transfers to create visual interest in my very mundane photosmy sneakers and a stop sign. I created a photo sandwich by positioning Transfers #2, #3, and #4, adding and blending my photos into them with layer masks, then duplicating texture and color layers from the transfers and pulling them up to the top. I used a variety of blending modes to alter the color and transparency of these layers. Then I added the word art and journaling, a few stains, and the background, which is just a blend (on multiply) of a solid paper and an artsy paper. I added the embellishments and birds last.
