MOC10 - Day 1 - Blind Scrap

This is lovely Sheri. Great blended photo and fun inset smaller photo of you enjoying the season.

Love your layout and that blending!

This is gorgeous. That mask is perfect <3

Wow, simply fabulous.

That blended photo is so pretty!!

@SeattleSheri This is breathtaking!!!

On another note, if I'm not asking for trade secrets, is there a tutorial or something you could send me to that would help me do what you do to the buildings? I have played in PS and just can NOT figure out what you do to colorize/blend/cartoonize (for want of a better word) a photo!!!

@flowersgal @Sokee @melidy @Eyeore @lmuscarella22 Thank you for the sweet comments!!!

@Pachimac Thank you! For this layout, I changed the blend mode on the photo to color burn and used a very large soft brush (400-1,000px, depending on the area of the photo) to erase around the edges to blend it into the paper. In a few areas, I also reduced the opacity of the brush to make it a more gradual transition. I then duplicated the layer and changed the layer mode of the bottom version to vivid light and reduced the overall opacity to 10% to give it a bit more oomph!

@SeattleSheri

I will try that out! I have wanted to get that effect for some of my Italy photos and I just never could get it! I'll tag. you if I accomplish it! LOLOL Thank you!

That photo treatment is absolutely amazing. I will have to try it myself. Very beautiful page.

@Roxana Thank you so much!
@Pachimac You may need to play around with the blend modes and opacity (and in some cases the layer order) depending on your specific photos and what your background paper is. I commonly also use the following modes: darken, multiply, overlay and screen
