The Perfect Photo Gift
These types of images are very popular among the art community. I usually see forestry backgrounds blended into silhouettes. I'm going to break it down very easy for you.

You Will Need
-
Step 1First off, you will need two types of images. A background and a black silhouette. You can easily turn any of your images into a silhouette by coloring it black. Then, you will need a photo shop program, picmonkey.com actually has a layer option on their website for free!
-
Step 2Next, you should either copy and paste or create a new layer and add image on top of your silhouette. Some programs allow you to just copy and paste and others make you create a new layer. Either way, you must have two layers: your silhouette and your background.
-
Step 3Place the background image fully over your silhouette.
-
Step 4Then, for the layer options on your background, set it to SCREEN (sometimes LIGHT will work as well).
-
Step 5Once you click that blending option, your images will be merged into a new surrealistic image.
-
Step 6There are so many possibilities!
These types of images would make a great framed photo gift. Such as using a child's silhouette and combining it with their favorite toys, using a beloved pet silhouette then maybe collaging different images of that pet into the silhouette, or what I normally see are animal heads blended with water or trees.
Have fun!
