It's not always easy to find the exact colours you want to use on a layout and that's when a little bit of blending comes in very useful.
I used the paint bucket to make a soft blue background layer and stamped the 1920s ladies first in orange, then white and then brown, before a final stamp in orange to give them depth and to get a subdued shade. I did a similar thing with the star and star burst brushes.
The frame was gold but by duplicating the image using the Exclusion layer blend I made it blue. Likewise the wording was pink, but by adding a second layer and the Colour Burn layer blend, I managed a passable orange.
This was created for this week's Blue and Orange challenge across at Arty Girlz Challenge Blog.
