dsrt1684 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 So this is not actually a technique question, but I wasn't sure which forum it belonged in. I scrapbooked pages 5 years ago, and now, I am getting back in the swing of things. I had some pages I had started, but not finished. I know I posted this page and asked these questions on the scrapgirls forum 5 years ago, but I do not remember the advise I received. I wanted the photo to look like I was blasting through water. So I tried different ways to make the photo tatters look like water, but I am not sure any of them look quite right. Should I just use the original one on the layout, or do any of the water ones work at all? I really wanted the water look, but I don't know if any of them look right.

CRS Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 What are you using to make the curled papers you are bursting through look like water? If the photo is large enough, you can clip parts of the water from the photo to the curls to make it look more realistic. I think it's a fantastic idea, and like either the first example or the last one. Very cool!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrt1684 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 AMC water paper. Unfortunately, I didn't mark where I got it from (rak scraps, scrap girls, freedigital, shabby princess). But it just is a variety of different water papers. I just clipped the papers to torn paper frames (from scrap girls). The original water is a green color, and I actually colorized the water to match the AMC water paper, but maybe I should try it the other way around. Use the color in the original water to recolorize the AMC water paper. Or just use the water from the picture--and clip that to the torn paper frames. On the actual layout, the dark blue ones (#1 and #3) don't look right. They seem to overpower the layout. But I will try using the original water from the photo. Thanks for the suggestion!

dsrt1684 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Unfortunately, those were all made 5 years ago and the original layout has the photo merged with the torn paper, so no way to clip anything to just the torn paper. So while that one has the best out of bounds angle, it is uneditable. The others aren't merged, but the water was recolorized in the photo already. Long story short, I tried your idea, and I think it would have looked good, but I would have needed to recolorize it back to original water in photo, but couldn't figure out how. Moral of the story: don't try to figure out how to fix something 5 years later unless you remember how to recreate it. It was a good idea, but I think I just need to stick with original.
