Process:

I've recently decided to give 8.5 x 11 a try and this is one of first few pages.

This is a pretty simple page but I've used a number of brushes and overlays blended into my background and other layers using the soft light blending mode for a subtle watermarked look.

I've added a few different loop da loops into them mix to help move the eye around the page. Then I've also accented my design with a few dimensional red elements to help tie my photo in a bit more and to add some depth.
