From Joanne:

Here is our challenge for this month: create a 'new' paper using only Rachel's designs.

With it being April we are going with 4s. That's right, I want you to take 4 different papers and create 1. I want your new paper to stand out so you can only use a maximum of 4 non-blended elements on your page (by non-blended I mean more dimensional items where you are going to add a shadow). This number does not include your photo(s) of which you can have a maximum of 4.

For those who would like a little help blending papers and an explanation of using layer masks, here are a couple of tutorials by Pollys - HeyJude and keepscrappin that may be helpful:

Recap:
1. Create 1 new paper using 4 different papers. Your base paper must be solid.
2. You can also use blending masks, blending modes, brushes, and paints to create your new background paper.
3. You can only use 4 non-blended elements on your page (ie, think more dimensional items you would shadow). You can however use any amount of blended elements you like.
4. Photos if you choose to use them, a maximum of 4

Step by step example of my process:

Using papers from Epic Cosmic Stuff, Rachel’s portion of the M3 July 2021 x 2, Somewhere In Between. I also used an impasto and marks from Epic Cosmic Stuff.
4 elements: 1 messy threads, 1 star charm, 1 scatter, 1 word art

 
Rachel's CT - had lots of fun this month! Blending papers extends the life a kit for sure. And, you can make some unique layouts.

 
Thank you for this challenge. I used stamps too(- but of course without shadows)
 
I used 3 papers from Pocket Art No 9 and 1 paper from M# Apr 19 to create background
