Hi everyone – Jennifer here welcoming you to the March Etc by Danyale Blog Challenge!
I am so excited that it is March and that spring should be finally coming! I always have so much energy as the days get longer and warmer. It is the perfect time to learn new things!
This month the technique is a new one for me, it is to get some use out of that gradient tool. I know I have heard of this tool, but never really used it on my layouts. I searched some tutorials on the web, and I was blown away by how much you can do with this little tool! You can blend photos together, blend a photo to a paper, and even blend a photo from color to black and white. Always type in your program when searching for tutorials for specific details.
I used Danyale’s March BYOC – Simple Life Kit for this challenge. This collection just seemed to work so well with my photo.
Here is my layout. Notice how the foliage in the upper left corner is still colored. I chose to blend my photo into black and white to keep some of my foliage in color, but then most of the rest of my picture in color.
So on to the rules…
- Scrap a layout where you use a photo blending technique using any Etc by Danyale kit of your choice.
- Come back here to this post and link us up with your layout from your favorite gallery, even if you have posted it in the The Lilypad challenge forum to be eligible for your chance to win. This is an Etc blog hosted monthly challenge.
- Upload your layout and post it here for us to gush over by midnight EST on Friday March 31, 2017.
One lucky winner will be chosen at random to receive a $10 coupon to Danyale’s store.
February’s WINNER is:

I used the Simple Life Kit… I blended the photo into the paper using the blend mode linear burn and masked out a little of the edge of the photo. I gradient blended 3 of the papers together for the background.. Simple Life pattern 3 , pattern 7 & pattern 12.
Thank you for the opportunity!

Fun challenge! Thank you. I played with Paint.Net (free) gradient tool and some blur filters. Then with Scrapbook Max 2.0, I played with blending papers.

Thanks for the challenge. I used the gradient tool to blend two papers, patterned to plain, and I blended the sides of the photo to make the background less distracting and to give it a bit of fun flair.

I blended the big photo into the bg. I also added a color gradient to the smaller one. Thanks for the fun challenge
