Technique Challege - Photos From Background

I recorded a video on how to do this simple technique.

This is one of my favorite techniques.

I have always loved simple layouts with very few elements.
This technique is to cut a focal point out of the background, put a stroke and drop shadow on the new layer, lower the opacity of the background, and add journaling and supporting photos.

The video is in the Subscriber Area. I will try to get something done for non-Subscribers soon.
