I love combining textures, brushes, vintage elements and photographs to create a layered design.
This design uses a number of layers that include a texture (this month's freebie!), art overlays, vintage brushes and overlays, and a photograph used with a Photoshop pattern script. I planned on doing a tutorial on this, but my neck arthritis is having a bad flare up right now, so I'll just offer a peek at my layers.
By building up layers of art elements, brushes and overlays you can create a design with richness and depth.
Resources
A few of the products used in this design:
- Free (this month only) texture, Emerge.
- Vintage French Math overlays (bottom left over background.)
- Vintage French No. 1brushes. (Conserveries and angel blowing trumpet top.)
- Artistique Edgesoverlays. Adds a purple vignetted glow to texture.
- Gouache Grunge No. 4 brushes. I used them in the layer mask of the striped overlay so that only some of the stripes show - in the shape of the grunge brush.

Thank you so much for that lovely comment, Fiona. I’m in less pain today although I still need to take it easy for awhile. I think I’ll need to learn to work smarter instead of harder. :-)
