January 26 - Duotone Technique

I will have to play with this technique q bit more but hopefully this is good enough for now. I love some of the others results though!!!! Awesome!

 
Boy, this pushed my buttons! Haha! I have been grumbling at this challenge since I saw it because it is so out of my normal scrapping style. But I remembered these two photos and right away I picked the blue and green, inspired by a "vintage colour palette" and I really REALLY love it!! Thanks so much for the challenge!!!

 
Although my scan through this thread has been quick, I did look at every page and I didn't see any posts talking about how to do this in PSE. Messing around in PSE, I can do black and a color, but I can't figure out how to do two colors where one is not white or black. Is that OK? I think you said black or white, is OK, just not both.

Thanks!
I'm so sorry I am late in responding here. But, it looks like you got it!! Love your happy page.
 
Here's my fix up, Ashley. I think I figured out what I was doing wrong :)

I just returned home from a week away so I haven't had much time to play with this in Artisan 5. Here's another way I came up with that I thought I'd share with everyone, although it isn't two color, but it's the closest thing without just doing a color wash and what @AlannaH showed everyone earlier.

I added a color photo onto my page, then I right clicked on the mouse and chose effects->edit->add an effect->blend. I chose the brownish-orange color for my blend, then chose subtract for the blend mode, moving the opacity towards 100%. And this is what I got. As you can see it's three-color, but I love the effect it gives.

So, just something that you can play around with.

Oh my! This challenge was difficult as I couldn't find a picture with simple clean lines - but I think it turned out pretty good!
