May Colour Challenge

[Marguerite]

Your colour challenge for May is to use a photograph (landscapes and small children work best) as part of your background layer.

I was so impressed with your blending efforts last month, I've decided to take the blending one step further this month. I am loving the look of a blended photo (the same as the subject matter of the LO) forming part of the background paper. You can use a colour version of the photo, or change to sepia or black & white, lower the opacity of the photo or adjust the levels. If the back ground is too busy, use a soft brush with a lowered opacity to erase part of the background...there are endless possibilities.

As an example here's just one done by the lovely Flora (check out the gallery, there are lots more)

Thanks Marg... this should be a fairly easy challenge as I have done this a few times in the past.

What a great Challenge ! I was looking at all of the LOs with this style of blending, and was going to have another go at doing one. I have done a couple before - some more successful than others

OT for a min here.. sorry Anne Marie..

I've come to the conclusion that I'm allergic to Warwick water.. every time I have a bath or shower, or get the girls' bath ready.. or help in the kitchen (and need to put water in something), my eyes itch and itch and itch and I have a huuuuge sneezing session.

There is a LOT of chlorine in the local water. I can smell it very strong some days. Short luke warm showers - so it doesn't absorb too much through the skin. I thought it was tank water at Dad's ??

[gourmetdigi]

I can smell it too.. everyday.. and then you have the day when they top up the chlorine..I can be a good 3m away from the sink and smell it when teh tap comes on. I dont know which water comes out of the shower, but my skin doesn't like it. I could rip my eyes and hair out for one.
