Welcome to the NBK Technique Challenge for March 2017!
In this Challenge we are going to focus on blending two images together using Gradients. But first I have included a step by step tutorial to help you use the Gradient function in Photoshop and also two tutorial videos from Jana that you might want to run if you are not sure how to get a good result. I have always found gradients difficult to master as there is a few different ways to use them.
You might be proficient with gradients but it might be interesting to see the various ways to get a good result. Whatever your expertise, I am really looking forward to seeing your pages here for this challenge.
You can win a 4 $ coupon in the Technique Challenge but your layout needs to contain some NBK products. This challenge closes on 26th March Good Luck to All
Here are the links to the tutorials

You can create a JPG of your merged images or create it directly on a background of your choice. Whatever method you choose is okay, just do it. Here is some samples to give you some inspiration
I created this one using Jana's Video Tutorial. You can see by my layers that once you create the gradient you can clip more than one image to the underlying gradient and also, alternate between more than one background below the gradient as long as you save the layered file as a PSD or TIFF
Looking for some great artsy bit and pieces, try these
