    Hi, everyone!! Welcome to the NBK Design June Challenge.

    Double Exposure is a technique that allows us to play with our photos and take them to another level. I´ve been wanting to try this technique for a long time but I always thought that it was going to consume a lot of time that I do not have. Believe it or not, after choosing my photos, it only took me 10 minutes, it´s easy and simple.

    An advice for choosing your photos:
    . There are no rules about the photos you can use but lighter or brighter ones are not recommended as this will affect the details of the image. Instead, use darker scenes or subjects, with more shadows and blacks.
    . The best advice is to use silhouettes, but portraits with darker lighting and a bright background also work great.
    . Another fundamental point is to understand that all the dark space in the first photo is where we can add the light in the second photo.

    Rules:
    For this challenge you have to combine two photos in order to create a double exposure effect on your page, that´s mandatory. You can use any photos you like and whatever NBK Design products you wish. For my sample page I used On The Sunny Side Collection and these two free photos from Pixabay:

    Jerzy Górecki from Pixabay  (3).jpg flowers-8643341_1280.jpg

    I used this tutorial, you can use another if you want to:


    I will be around if you have any questions.

    General rules:
    - This challenge runs from June 1 to June 30, 2024
    - TWO lucky scrappers will be randomly chosen to win an $8 coupon to the NBK-Design store.
    - You must use 100% NBK-Design Products.

    Looking forward to see your layouts!!
    Enjoy and have fun!!

    I actually combined 3 photos here - the face, a bokeh photo & some balloons. However - I think the balloons sort of got lost under the title once I was finished. Made a birthday greeting to Nicole.

    My learning style isn't conducive to the video, this doesn't count, but I'm trying. I think you can't see the palm tree enough to make it a double exposure. Trying to get a double exposure.jpg
