Let’s Blend Challenge: Collages

Hi everyone! Joanne here with this month’s Let’s Blend Challenge. Pinterest has some wonderful collage inspiration. Creating them doesn’t come natural to me, but I thought it might be fun to incorporate some blending into collage pieces. Katie’s Collage Stack Layers are a perfect to use as the foundation of a collage. Because the stacks are layered, you can use what you want, duplicate them, and resize them to suit your layout.

I began my page with one of the Vintage Artistry Mango Ephemera Stacks. Since my photo was horizontal, I duplicated a couple of the ephemera pieces in the stack, spread them out and clipped my photo to each layer. I applied the multiply blend layer to each photo so the texture of the ephemera would show through. Elements and word art were added, and tweaked it a few times. Stepping back from it for a day or so really helped with the final image.

 

Katie has provided a wonderful freebie to get you started. You can find the credits in the Gallery for all the products I used on these pages. Please post your pages in the Let’s Blend Challenge Gallery and the October Participation Sign in Thread, so you can earn shopping rewards.

I can’t wait to see your pages in the Gallery. Happy Blending!

Joanne
