Challenge - Digital Challenges : his pride

This week, your challenge is to use transparency adjustments to blend a photo into your background. I used the same photo twice on this layout - once blended into my layout mat and once again at full transparency and framed. The mat is actually 3 layers - the lined paper piece from Michelle's kit, the photo and a kraft paper layer at a reduced opacity and "multiply" ayer mode to tone down the brightness of the paper.
