Compositions: Blending Background and Foreground: 1

For this composition, I used a photo of my sister at my wedding:

and a photo of a coin that i got from google images: 

I started by cutting out my sister face and hair from the photo. 

Then I erased just the face in the coin layer.

After that I placed the face over the coin and I changed layer preferences to bevel and emboss.

After much clone stamping to match her hair to the coins hair, I substituted the color of the my sisters face to that one of the coin.

My last step was to write my sister name (Mariana) on the coin and the date (2011).

First I erased the words and numbers form the coin in order to make space for her name.

To match the font style from the coin, I copied the I from liberty and manipulated it to make each letter the same as the coins type. 

Then, I retouched with clone stamp and voila: The piece was finished!
