I am very inspired by layouts that blend photos into the background as well as patriotic pages. With Independence day on the horizon here in the US on July 4th, this page I made with Mirjam's Pink Reptile Design's
Stars and Stripes Bundle ![Due 20 June For 25 June | Inspo - Christa *SCHEDULED* Prd_st10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f59/18/57/26/58/prd_st10.jpg)
really speaks to me. I am inspired by the red white and blue color scheme along with that wonderful grungy wood alpha. The blended photo I have reused and placed in the square with the cluster to coordinate.
As you can see I have many layers and have blended the photo in many times masking out certain areas and changing the blend modes on the photo layers. I have also doubled the title having it be red underneath and red on top...

just experiment with your layers and blend modes to create a wonderful art piece that speaks to you!

Here is another I have done using a sketch of the photo to blend into the background:

I can't wait to see yours! To those in the US have a wonderful Independence Day weekend!
