Process...
I clipped the large paper element that comes in the new ArtPlay Palette Luster to one of the new Luster FotoBlendz masks. That became the base I built the rest of the page off of. Next, I added some of the transfers from AP Luster. There is one in the upper left (x2 one on normal, one on color burn), and one in the lower right corner. I added Ben (no photo of early Ben, so I used this image that I had). I tucked the crumpled paper pieces under Ben. There are multiple layers of the paper pieces set to different blending modes to give them slightly different looks. The stitched banner, also from AP Luster, is under the paper pieces. It's colored both by the transfers and some of the brushes I used. The photo of older Ben was blended in as one of the bottom most layers. I added the title, journaling, a few artstrokes and splatters and it was done.

Thanks for looking
