January 15: Paper Blending (Technique Challenge)

full
 
I blended three of Val's new M3 add-on papers, using one of them with a color burn mode, another with a lighten mode, and a second copy of one of the papers above the other layers with brushwork to hide most of it.

 
Thanks for the challenge, Rae! It was a lot of fun! Got to love blending!
I used the striped paper as my background and put the spots over top. I lowered the opacity of the spots to 70% and the blend mode to Screen. Then I used a layer mask to erase some of the edge so that it had some difference in the blend.

Edited layout in gallery because the green was getting on my nerves, lol!

I used the pink solid on bottom with pink pattern paper (#15) on top. I set the blend mode on the pink pattern paper to Multiply and the opacity to 65%. Then I added a layer mask to the pattern paper – set the mask to black and then brought back the pattern around the edges.

 


I blended 3 papers for this layout. The wood paper along with the floral paper and a dotty type paper all blended together.
 
I blended a pretty paisley onto a kraft paper with Color Burn as the blend mode. Thanks for the fun challenge Rae!

 

Yellow patterned paper with Aged Stucco Paper blended with the luminosity mode and then a layer mask used to reveal/hide parts
 
Using Forever Joy's Surf Shack, I used a wood tone paper as my base and blended a yellow paper using the Overlay Blending Mode to get a beachy sunset look. Then created a mask for my picture to blend.

This was fun! I blended a black textured paper with a newsprint paper and then used the overlay effect and then erased the centre with Jaimee's water colour brushes for another fun effect.

 

I used three different papers to blend the background. I used multiply and changed the opacity of the layers.
 
I blended 3 papers. Started with a solid light gray paper, added a darker gray paper as an overlay (for a little texture), then added an off-white with black zig-zag paper, used the multiply blend mode, and changed the opacity and fill.

 
I used the white raindrop paper on bottom them placed a white paper on top of it and used the exclusion blend mode making it turn black raindrop paper and then added another piece of white raindrop paper on top.
