Moving along on our 2012 photobook, but still in June 2012. I've got a ways to go yet to get caught up!
I was excited to create this background.... I wanted it to look like a burnt brick building. I used the 'Well Worn' DSP.... yes, this is what it looks like before I manipulated it:
I achieved the look on my pages by first making my background Basic Black. I place a photo box over the entire area, and added this Well Worn DSP (#11). Then, I recolored it Sahara Sand. But....that wasn't all! I changed the opacity to 40%, so that the Black background could show through the paper. Now isn't that cool!
On another note, that I got excited about was my smoky cloud! I used the cloud punch, made it whisper white and changed the opacity to 50%. I then copied and pasted another cloud...but flipped the image, so that I could create a cloudy box with it! FUN!
