for the title i used Deep Sea Baked embossing powder and love how it looks,
the ornate gateway i cut in half and set on either side of my photo

the mini corner set i thought would look great to adorn the corner of the photo, i heat set this with Baked Embossing powder called sand and it blends in with the photo so beautifully.
