5)Create a new blank layer and move it to the bottom of the layer stack. Fill that layer with a lovely rich burnt sepia colour of your choice.
7)Bring the textured layer into your layer stack. I took the photo of the textured wall with my point and shoot ( cell phone pics are also good for the use of textures.)Remember all graphics and images in a composite must be the authors own images. Place the ď€ rst texture image above the solid colour you created and in the layers panel set it to overlay as well as 60% opacity on this layer only.

6) Duplicate the cloud image, select the right hand corner, cut and make a new layer with that piece of the cloud picture, go to hue and saturation and over saturate it to get the brighter blue in the right hand corner. Delete the rest of the cloud duplicated layer we do not need it. Also make sure the bright blue layer is above the cloud layer.
8)Duplicate the textured layer and make sure to move the new texture layer above the clouds and the summer tree. In the layer panel click on the drop down menu and select overlay, make sure the textured layer is set on 60% opacity. The bottom left image shows you where in the layers panel to ď€ nd the drop down menu for the layer styles.
9)Lastly merge all the layers and make a duplicate layer, select the left bottom quatre of the image and cut and place into a new layer. Delete the rest of the image so that you are only left with the merged image and the bottom bit. Now de-saturate the bottom corner and soften the edges with the eraser tool. Flatten the image and you are DONE!
