Using Why It Works, Tinting A Photo

 

I chose Why It Works, Scatters

 

For the DSD Technique Challenge I used the this tutorial: Why It Works | Splitting a Word Art

 

I went with Photo as background technique.

 

I Have Done A Few Layouts Over The Years For The "WHY IT WORKS" Threads...It Helped Me A Lot When I First Started Out Here A Few Years Ago!...I Learned A Lot About Perspective/Color/Blending/Shading/Composition...Etc...& Lots More...But I Haven't Looked At Any Of Them Recently...I'm Choosing The "Mixing Color With Black & White Photos"...

https://the-lilypad.com/forum/threads/why-it-works-mixing-color-with-black-white-photos.54295/

It Is Certainly Very Effective For Many Reasons...In My Case...In This Layout I Wanted The B&W Photo More Towards The Center To Draw The Eye In...And The Colorful Witch Photos To Surround & Be Behind As To Encompass The B&W One...Like A Big Collage Of Sorts...It's Bright! It's Bold! It's In Your Face! A Bit Too!...It Is After All...All About Halloween's Ghastly!...Witches,Bats,Black Cats & Pumpkins!...& I Like The Look Of The Large Googly Eyes Too!...It's Like The Witches Eyes Are Everywhere...They Are Watching You...You Can't Get Away From Her...She's Put A Spell On You!...It's A Bit Macabre! But With A Twist!...Leaning More Towards A Lighter Side Of...

*Everything In My Layout Is From The New! Witching Hour By Little Butterfly Wings...Except For The Bats Which Are From The New! Boo Ya! By Becca Bonneville!...& The Black Cat Is From Pixabay...But The Foundation Of The Layout Is Lynn Grieveson's New! Rip It Up Templates...

*For My A Put A Spell On You Layout-I Used:

*The Witching Hour-Little Butterfly Wings
*Boo Ya!-Becca Bonneville
*Rip It Up-Template #2-Lynn Grieveson

 

I used the Creative Framing Why It Works. I created a frame using a Photoshop shape and a Mommyish style and I used 1 section of a filmstrip frame for journaling.

 

I used the Why It Works Paper Blending tutorial found here https://the-lilypad.com/forum/threads/why-it-works-paper-blending.53066/ and I used the one by Rae in the blog found here https://the-lilypad.com/blending-papers/, where she also used blending modes for blending paper. I blended four papers and a photo.

I got up this morning playing with the blending technique. Here is my new take on the same photo. This is fun.
