Here's something today that's quick and simple, and can be done in Photoshop Elements, or in Photoshop, or in fact, in any image editor that has the capability for using layers.It's very quick to complete, and once you have a basic understanding of blending the layers, you can have fun with this little tip.
Making a textured collage is simple. The tutorial (download the pdf below, as well as the image files) involves only three images, but when you work with your
own designs, you can use as many images as you like to create your textured look.Experiment a little with different textures and backgrounds, try text as a blended layer, mix colours, mix designs and play with the layer blending methods.
The image created using this tutorial is this vintage-style beach image; somewhat reminiscent of an old postcard, but you can easily creates images such as the horse above.

I tried to use this and i was able to blend two of my own images but when i found a background i wanted or a letter like you used i wasn't able to get it to work. The image/letter copied over very small and hardly covered the first image at all! How to i make the second image/letter the same size as what im layering it to?
Thanks!

Hi Janelle
Your images need to be roughly the same size, so if the letter or text image you are using is very much smaller, then enlarging it could make it rather blurry.
To enlarge the text layer, make sure it's the active layer in photoshop. Then Select edit, then free transform, and scale. The smaller image will have "nodes" or small handles at the corners. Grab one of those and drag outwards to enlarge the image.
If you find your text is too blurry, you'll need to look for another text file to use, or create your own.
