I’m so sorry it took me so long to answer! that’s how you do it: you really put two papers on top of one another and then, almost exactly like in the blog post above you use an eraser with low opacity (10 % or so) and with a big diameter. and then you erase and erase and erase ;-)) until you are happy what it looks like. you then don’t even have to merge the two papers. wouldn’t change the look actually.

with the family tour layout: I played around with light (soft light e.g.) and opacity as well in order to achieve the monochromatic look. rosy did a great blog post on this.

if you have more questions, please don’t hesitate to answer!!

Thanks!! I wanted to learn to modify elements without deforming. I have a question that is not related to this post: I noticed two layouts yours: family tour and our munchkins. From what I see, the background is a merger of two papers, isn’t it? How do you make that?

Great topic, Lego! Changing the shape of a frame is something that I do often, but some of the other ideas, I’ve never thought of!
