Let’s Blend Challenge – Messed Up Photo Blocks

Hello, Joanne (jcaruth910) here with a new Let’s Blend Challenge. Messed Up Photo Blocks are what we will be working with this month. They can be used as a clipping mask or as a background for your photos and Katie has provided a wonderful freebie package.  My fellow CT members have provided some lovely pages for inspiration.

First is Renee, who is one of our new guest Creative Team members. She used the photo block as a base for her lovely cluster of lilac photos. Products used:
Photo Clusters 66, Color Swatch Willow Ephemera, ARToptions Mini Mix 27

Creative Team Member, Jana put the photo block in the background and used in twice as a clipping mask. The added elements were a perfect choice to highlight the lovely flower photos. Products used: Vintage Artistry Lilac Paper pack,Vintage Artistry Lilac Flairs, Botanical Bliss Scrapbooking Kit 01, Artsy Blend Layers Botanicals 01, Messy Stitched Circles: White 01,Vintage Artistry Wherever Transfers, Photo Clusters 56, Spring Skies Element Pack, Vintage Garden District Sentiments Brushes and Stamps,
Indigo Garden Sentiment Mix

I used the photo block vertically as a grounding point for a couple of my photos of the male of our recent osprey couple nesting here in Flagstaff. Products used: Hidden Creek Solids, Hidden Creek Ephemera Blends, ARToptions Mini Mix 19, Vintage Artistry Hike Stamp pack

I hope you are inspired by these examples.  A big thank you to Renee and Jana for helping me out this month. Please don’t forget to post your layouts in the Let’s Blend Challenge Gallery, as well as the May 2025 Challenge Participation Thread to earn store rewards.

Happy Blending!

Joanne
