SodScrap Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Good Morning!! It's a very cool morning here in Missouri! I love this cooler weather...but I know it won't last long. The inspiration for today's Thursday Blog-Inspired Challenge comes from this tutorial by Syndee Nuckles: What Are Blending Modes. So what are Blending Modes exactly? Basically, Blending Modes give us different options for how our layers interact or blend with each other. I don't know about you, but I find that I have so many wonderful tools to use, that sometimes I forget to use them!! Blending modes are so versatile and so much fun to use! Your challenge is to use more than one blending mode on your layout and tell us what blending modes you used. When you finish your layout, post it to the SG Blog Challenge Layouts Gallery and post a link back in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodScrap Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Here is mine: Thursday Blog-Inspried Challenge To make my background I used a combination of these blending modes with differing opacity using 3 different SS Papers:soft lightoverlaymultiply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieGrace Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm always using blending modes. The next couple days are going to be hectic but fun. Two birthday celebrations for me and of course the 4th of July. I hope I can get one in. There's always nighttime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbc72 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 The blending modes I used on my layout were lighten and overlay to give the flowers a more stamped look, and because I thought my photo was too orangy I made a solid white layer over it and used color and the opacity slider to lighten it real quick. Here's my layout: Mia http://scrapgirls.net/forum/gallery/image/151584-blending-modes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie-Christine Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hunter The blending modes I used was: I used mode 'difference' on my watercolor paper as well as a pale blue layer on top but used a 'lighten' mode to soften both layers. I also used 'dissolve' on my word art and used luminosity on my heart embellishments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stage Manager K8 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Here's mine: Home for Christmas Some of my photos were pretty dark so I used screen on a duplicated layer and played with the opacity until I liked it. I also used Ovelay on this one. I love blending modes. I play with them on every layout - sometimes I get something really special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
