Process
Artsy paper 3 from APP Garland was used as the base of the page. The paper was duplicated with the blending mode changed to hard light with a reduced opacity to brighten up the white area. The photo had a busy background and the focal image was extracted. A custom shadow was added behind it to give more depth. The shadow was duplicated, flipped vertically and with the distort and warp tools resized. A gradient mask was added fading out the furthest point. An artstroke from the kit was layered under the feet. This anchored the image so it didnt look like it was floating. A MultiMedia Holiday 2 psd file was placed behind the image. Several fotoblendz were added to give more light. Several brushes from Evergreens 2 were stamped on to fill out the bottom behind the image. A cluster was made using the glitter trim, holly and buttons from the kit. Word art and embellishments were added to complete the page.
This is some beautiful extraction! You're right about the artstroke being an anchor, and I love that garland thing happening at the top. Whew! Gorgeous in every way!
