CRS Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 One of my favorite techniques in digital scrapbooking is Blending! So, for the Tuesday Newsletter Challenge, I challenge you to blend 2 or more papers together to use as your background, a mat behind photos or as an embellishment. Experiment with blending modes, gradients and brushes and have fun! Post your layouts in the Weekly Newsletter Challenge Gallery and leave a link here in this thread. I can't wait to see what everyone creates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I used a mask and also a blended frame for my large photo, then an overlay and a gradient for the background (if that all makes sense, ). It was all a lot of fun and got me to scrap a couple of recent photos. Thanks for a fun challenge! Myakka River State Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelle Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 As I blend, I start to lose track of what I've done. I used three papers, a SS edge, a brush, and blending modes. Love You So Much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRS Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 I've always loved blending, but all your layouts are stunning and blended so beautifully! Makes me love it even more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Christine Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Here is mine I blended 3 papers and then blended my photo in as well. I love trying out different ways of blending by adjusting the blend mode, using the brush and /or eraser brush. Sometimes just changing the opacity also works. And using a mask, I often erase bits on the mask and change the opacity setting too. Great fun trying out different ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightEyes22 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Here is my LO: The Chosen One I love blending - especially to build a background to add interest to the main theme of the page. I blended 2 papers together and layered them on top of some stacked papers. Also blended in some graffiti and played around with blending the fog elements.
