Challenge & Inspiration for Lesson 1, Variation 2, Underlying Letter

Create a scrapbook page using one big letter from a word or phrase and a shaped frame cluster.

NOTE: Please complete the lessons in the order they are provided.

Tips for completing this challenge:

Single, large letters will work perfectly for this tutorial.
Short to medium length words would also work, like LOVE or TRAVEL, or AMAZING.
Keep your word's font chunky! Use Arial Black, Impact, Alfa Slab One, or Bevan.
Only add a frame cluster to one letter of the word. Make that letter much larger than the rest of the word.
If your document's file size gets to be too large, apply my Mask/Apply Clipped Layer action to the clipped layer. NOTE: This action does not work on photos or papers that are clipped to a group.

REMINDER! TIPS for Shaped Frame Clusters

The Frames action will not work if you don't have the Patterns installed.
Unless you're going for an eclectic look, I recommend staying with the same frame pattern throughout your page.
When applying frames, start at the top of the base shape and work down.
Randomly overlap the frame groups (both vertically and horizontally), some with a lot of overlap and some with very little overlap.
Tilt just a few of the frames. Too much tilt adds chaos.
Leave spaces where the base shape shows through.
Do not keep the edges of the arranged frames smooth. They are meant to be jagged.
