Have you been looking in a kit for a paper to use and can’t find just what you were looking for? Chelle’s Creations created this video tutorial to give ideas on how to get that perfect paper by blending two papers together. For this video she uses her kit About A Boy, but this technique can be used with any two papers.

Now let’s check out how Chelle’s Creations ladies used what they learned from this video.

Carol (Iowan) created a fabulous muddy looking background paper. She used the small elephant print paper from Zoo Crew {Animal Prints} with a blending mode of darken at 100% opacity and the Zoo Crew {Jungle} paper woodgrain to create this cool looking background. In addition, she used Zoo Crew {Arctic} and the Zoo Crew {Arctic Alpha}.

Next up Melissa (pretty peaches), used Chelle’s Creations kit coming coming out this week called Good Night Teddy. She placed the white starry paper over the light blue paper. She then changed the opacity of the starry paper to 15% to give it the nice soft look.

I would have been a nervous wreck having this guy hanging outside my house. Jan (QuiltyMom) on the other hand was even quick enough to get these great photos of him. She used a combination of Chelle’s kit to create this fun layout: On the Trail, Zoo Crew {Safari}, and Zoo Crew {Jungle}. Jan blended a patterned paper from On the Trail with the textured brown paper from Zoo Crew {Safari} to give the background paper a creased look.

This video tutorial features the About A Boy kit.

Have fun trying out the technique on your next layout!
