Let’s Blend Challenge – ARTpack Photographer Brushes

Hello, Joanne (jcaruth910) here with October’s Let’s Blend Challenge. I so enjoy all of Katie’s ARTpack Brushes and we are specifically going to work with a couple of the ARTpack Photographer Brushes this month. My fellow Creative Team members have created some wonderful pages to inspire you to create pages of your own:

First up is this beautiful page by Rachael (myssyp). I love the soft colors and how she seamlessly blended the photo into the ARTpack brush. The addition of the Hand Drawn film frame is genius.

Stacia (Stacia) chose to use the brush as an accent to her Touring Venice page spread. It is the perfect touch to all her wonderful photos.

A big thank you to Racheal, Stacia, Carol and Shannon for helping out with the challenge this month. I hope you are inspired to join in on the Let’s Blend Challenge this month.
