January 4: Photo blended into background

thank you for the interesting Challenge, i love blending so much!
I took the picture of the swimming ducks this morning while walking with Jona

 

Thank you for this challenge, blending isn’t something I have done before and I scrap on an app on my phone so I had to do some research into how to do it but I’m really pleased with this as a first attempt. I’m definitely going to be using this technique again and trying to improve at it. I used Sahin Designs Travelogue elements.

 

I blended the photo with the BG as in your tutorial and then I put the paper on top of my photo and used the multiply blendmode (I masked out the belly)

 

Good morning, Using Artisan, this was a little difficult to figure out, but I think I got it-

I used the Touchup tab, decrease color. Then I blurred the edges a bit.
Then I went to Filter, Edges, and softened the edges.
Then, just because I wanted to, I did Surface, Texture, and gave it a wrinkled effect.
The red is the BG paper. Yellow (and the grey at the bottom) is where the photo blends into it.

I hope this meets the challenge!

Maybe this will help anyone with Artisan!!

 

Two gradients: to the right (turquoise) and to the left (beige) plus the "attenuation" overlay mode (in order to have a glitter effect).

I used both a clipping mask for my photo and then I used the pse tutorial from Christa on my background paper.

 

Love this style... Thanks

 

What a great challenge, I don't do a lot of blending (well not without using masks etc) so was fun to challenge myself to do it without masks/paint. I followed your tutorial but changed the type of gradient to get the photo blended in top and bottom and then used Allison Pennington's The Blahs. Photo taken Jan 2

 

This was really fun! Adding to @tinkerbell1112's instructions for Artisan - I used the cutting tool - if you go to straight and choose blended, you can cut your photo edge and adjust how wide you want the cut and it blends it right in! I even cut at an angle!

 

oh, never thought of that! I may go and try a second page with that option!!! Your page is BEAUTIFUL

 

Thank you for this challenge !

 

The story of today, not what I'd normally pick to scrap, but this is where we are, and what is normal anymore anyways...

 

Thanks for the great challenge!
Here is my layout:

 

The sunrise was very cooperative this morning.

 

I used the PSE link above...

I kept this simple to let the photos shine..this is Baby Koda's first snow - Shelby took these pics on 1/1/22 when KC had their first snow and Koda had a blast playing in the snow - which was mostly crawling around the driveway and patting the snow.
