    I blended a yellow textured solid paper with a white wooden plank paper from the same kit. I also changed the opacity on the clock and the Today title to make them blend in more with the background I created.

    Such a fun challenge. I blended a star paper into my background, and then I blended a bunch of watercolor brushes with papers clipped to them too - I just couldn't stop, lol

    I'm not sure I can explain what I did... I just kept layering and erasing and blending until I decided to stop. The background is a combination of 3 pattern papers.

    Geez, I had too much fun with this one!
    I blended this colorful paper with the sun like rays under the black crisscrossed paper. It toned down the background a bit so the elements would pop. I turned down the opacity then I erased parts of the black paper so the colour would show through more. I markered up some areas as well.

    I used Multiply blending mode and I erased the portion of patterned paper under the journaling.

    The building paper was dark on white background, so I used the inverse option to flip it and then blended it over a mottled black paper.

    I blended 2 papers - a textured sand paper and a blue swirl paper and then blended a photo on top of that and used Lighten.
