Digital CT Member has shared the secret to creating beautiful images like this - she has shared it on the digital blog this week.
What will you make now that you can make these too?

Thank you KyKy and Lorrell. 
Really easy to do once the steps are broken down. And truly, this will work with any kind of photo . . . portrait, floral, landscape, etc. Just keep in mind that though it is a relatively "simple" process it does take some patience. And a LOT of CMD Z. 
If you have any questions about anything please don't hesitate to ask.  |

I'm looking forward to trying this when my new software arrives next week. Beautiful sample --- intimidating, but inspiring
On a side note Janelle -- can you explain how to imbed the actual picture of something in a forum post, as you did at the start of this thread ? I have used the url command to put a link in a post but haven't successfully inserted the actual picture. I know there's an img peacode but the last time I tried that I must have done something wrong, I just got the code in the post, not a picture. | |

Good Question "Too Many Crayons" It is super simple - when you are posting a reply on a forum thread at the bottom there is a box that reads - INSERT PEACODE. Click on the Image button and a pop up will appear for a url. You paste the url in and that is it. If it is located here on two peas in the gallery just right click on the opened layout and select copy image location and past that in as a url. If it is not on site you have to use photo bucket or something as a place to bring the image from. That is a really long answer for something that is so easy.  Does it make sense? |

If you try this technique - you should come back and link us all up. I'm going to try it this weekend - I'm scared, I want it to look like Katherine's but know that first tries are generally pretty rough. I'm excited though. |

I have a question!
I already tried the tutorial here
Is there a way to put a background paper under our image?
I tried, but the gradient layer applied also to the paper (and that's not what I wanted).
I tried merging the gradient layer with the stamps layers but it didn't work properly..the gradient was applied to ALL the page and not only to the stamps.
Basically, what I want to do is just add a background paper UNDER the image,for example a kraft paper.
I know I miss something, it should be easy
thanks! |

Unfortunately anything you add beneath the gradient layer will be affected by the gradient (as far as I know anyway). The only alternative that I can think of would be to save your gradient work as a PNG file (PNG files have a transparent background) and simply create a new document with the background paper that you are wanting to use and then import your PNG file and place it on top of the background in the new document.
Also, make sure that when you save your gradient work you're saving it without a background. If you've created your layout with a white background you're going to have to remove it before saving it otherwise you'll get a white background.
Does that make sense?
I'm getting ready to leave for class here in just a bit and I'll ask my instructor(s) if there is anyway to place a background beneath a gradient without it being affected.
And I LoOooooved your layout! Really FABULOUS interpretation of the technique! |
