Photoshop Challenge - Day 7 & 8

This was a tough one... I knew what I wanted to do, and had to figure out how to make it happen. It took longer than I intended, but I'm glad I didn't listen to that nagging voice telling me there's no value in doing these challenges, that I have other things to do... This one really did teach me some new skills. 

The most challenging thing about these missions is using only the given source. Normally, I'd just go out and find images to blend, or to use as backgrounds... So these challenges really are forcing me to be a more inventive.
