Notes: Opening a new file, I brought in the curled edges and clipped artsy paper 3 to it. Behind and underneath in the layers panel, I brought in artsy paper 1. Positioning the photo and adding a reverse layer mask, I brought the photo back out with AnnaBlendz brushes. I used the fotoglow and blended to Soft Light to accentuate Maxwells face.
Bringing in the edge overlay from the palette and clipping it to the edge template, I added the tree transfer along with the title word art, using a style on the word art. Adding script tease on the background layer and also framing Maxwell behind the title. Scribbles from the palette and stains and dots along with the cats were also added along with the architexture behind the photo.
The dimensional elements were placed, the flowers blended to Color Burn and the label at the left edge with the date finished the page.
