Process...
This was a 2-step process. Part I: Using one of the artsy papers, I blended the photo (which is shiny and ripply and just plain terrible). Then I used one of the MM document files (opening the .psd version) and placed it under the blended image of my grandfather to create a shirt for him. Some of the layers were moved a little, some were deleted (threadz and button), and some had the blending mode changed. Added the big flower and the glasses. Part II: I created a composite of the above (CTRL + ALT + Shift + E). I put a new solid under the composite layer. Then, I opened the new FB folder. I used several FB to create a mask for the composite. At this point everything was resized. Then I worked on adding more color and dimension. Finally, I added the journaling and called it done.

Thanks for looking :-)
