January 9th - Combine 2 Templates

Day 9 | Combine 2 Templates
​

Hello lovely LILYPADers and MOCers,

Welcome to day NINE of MOC3 - Can you believe how fast this month is disappearing away from us already? We're nearly a third of the way through!

Last year one of my favourite challenges was the 'Combine 2 Templates' challenge, so I'm thrilled to be here to host it this year. Two of our wonderful designers have been kind enough to prepare a pair of templates for us to use for toady's creation, so big thanks to both Jaimee and Heather!

Combining templates is a really cool way to put a new spin on things you already have in your stash; and it's also a great way to challenge yourself to use things that you might not ordinarily have considered initially.

For this challenge you need to combine both of the templates provided and create yourself a new template from them to make a new layout. You can resize, twist, shrink, move, and move again... the only guideline is that we need to be able to see elements from both templates in your final layout!

You'll find the templates to download for FREE right here.

​

To combine both of the templates into one layered document in Photoshop:

1. Open both templates in separate windows.
2. With the second template window floating above the first; select all of the layers in the second template.
3. Click and drag all of the layers from the layers palette on the second template, right into the window containing the first template.

EDIT TO ADD: There is a tutorial thread on the forum's here, on how to do this too:

I had a go with these and this is what I came up with, using a photo from our recent holiday in Paris.
