Carena's Scraplift Group

Emboss Page - instructions.
1. Over a plain white page I brought my photo of Caitlyn in and sized it.
2 Copy the photo so they are laying one on top of the other exactly.
3 on one copy double click -change opacity to 75%
4 click effects and change to sepia tone (bottom copy after completed)
5 send it to back so 2nd copy is now on top.
6 second copy double click and change opacty to 25%
7 go to effects - advanced and click emboss
8 I used these levels: Light angel 50 degrees, light height at 35 degrees and depth to 20 click apply and then click apply again. The image will look quite black and like concrete very rough.(setting are adjustable to you likes and may depend on the photo used)
9 add your own elements to your page. Remember you can overhang them over the edge of page - the excess is cut off when you publish or save.

I hope you find this helpful in your future layouts. I'd love to see what you come up with. Please direct anyone interested in the photo effect to the group so we can all share together. It's a public group and all are welcome.
Kind regards
Carena

Hi - just wanting to correct a mistake I've made with shapes. When uploading I've had a setting incorrect which has caused the ghosting some have experienced.
Please accept my apolgy for the mistake. I feel so, so bad.
Here is the correction:

I've done a layout using the shapes in the pack - you will find it in the gallery. I hope this helps inspire you with a layout or two. Scraplift it if you'd like - it's a great way to learn. Again so sorry for my mistake.
Kind regards
