Thank you so much Alison Such a beautiful kit! (((HUGS)))

Only filter I used was DSB Flux> Blast and that was in the word art and name and you
Could prolly use Effect>  Distortion Effects>  Wind and play with the settings there

Let's get started!

Open a New Image 600X250
Open and Copy and Paste Paper2
Center how you like and then go to your bottom layer (original)
Selections> Select All and then click on the paper layer and then go to
Image> Crop to Selection. Adjust> Add/Remove Noise Add Noise Gaussian 10%

Open fence and copy and paste.

when happy with placement Layers> Duplicate and then Image> Mirror 

Open net Image>Resize 120X150 and copy and paste as a new layer and move it to cover post

is under fence layer.

next to Beach Grass 2 and move layer so it is behind Beach Grass 2.

Open Anchor and Image> Resize 136X250 and move to the left (making sure this layer is on top)
See my example for placement.

Open birdie and Image> Resize 75X50 and copy and paste as a new layer.  Move to the left so it
is standing on the anchor.

Open Glass Float and Image> Resize 75X75 and copy and paste as a new layer.  Move to the right.

What I did next was Duplicate one of the Beach Grass 2 and then Image> Resize 75X75 and used it to cover the
back legs of the chaise and some in front of the fence.

Next I typed on some word art now what I did once I got it all typed and where I wanted it to be I duplicated it
twice so there are 3 and on the bottom one I did DSB Flux Blast to the left and the top one I did Adjust> Blur
Gaussian Blur 3.00. I did this with the name too but like I said you can play around with wind and see if that works
for you.

If you use a tube please sure to © and if not and did just like I did please credit the scrap kit maker.

Independent Woman

I used the BNB Independent Woman Scrap Kit by Spirit & Scraps
You can Download HERE  

I used the Artwork of Jennifer Janesko.  You can purchase from CDO.
You can go to the CDO store HERE

Use any mask you want.  I am not sure where I got the mask I used so unable to give you a link to it.

Font used is Pea Ambrielle.  It is a free font from Peas for fonts and you can get it HERE

Start out with a New Image Transparent 700X700
Open Ladyhawwk_Frame1 and copy and paste as a new layer
Using your Rectangle Selection Tool (Add(shift) Feather 0) make your selection go around the frame about half way
in.
Copy and paste Staci Paper 10 and move down below your frame.
Copy and paste tube of choice, arrange on the frame where you like it (should be under your frame) and once happy
with how it looks hit Selections>Invert and then hit the Delete key on your keyboard.  Click where the paper is and then
hit delete again on your keyboard.  Selections>  Select None.

Open Staci Paper 9 and copy and paste as a new layer and then move to the bottom under your paper from the frame.
Apply your mask and then Layers>Merge>Merge group.

Open Myth_Element11 and copy and paste as a new layer
Using your pick tool arrange it so that it is the same width as the frame and taller than the frame making sure it is behind
the frame but in front of your mask.

Open Staci Element 5 and copy and paste as a new layer.  I moved it up and to the right just a touch to kind of show in front of the buildings
there..Adjust>Blur>Gaussian Blur 3...It kinda looks like smoke, fog, smog LOL

Open Ladyhawwk_Element5 and copy and paste as a new layer  move to the right and under paper for frame so that it peeks out.

OpenLadyhawwk_Element 35 and copy and paste as a new layer  Image>Free Rotate to the Left and Free 25.00  then move up and
to the left just a touch making sure it is above Myth's buildings

Open Myth_Element8 and copy and paste as a new layer making sure it is on the top of the frame.

Open Staci Element 1 and copy and paste as a new layer move down so it is centered at the bottom of the frame.

If you are happy with where everything is Layer>Merge> Merge Visible.
