link works fine for me?
and yeh, to get that effect, i just take a picture, cut up pieces of it with the lasso tool and then position it on the layout.

So it's not the whole blend you chop up, its just a single image that you do it to, then paste? Thanks btw ^_^

yeah it looks like she used the polygonal lasso and drew random triangles around the edges, then deleted it.
edit: fail late reply </3
i'm not sure but it looks like there were 2+ different blends that she cropped and put on top of each other

Im not sure how the owner did it, but thats more or less what I do and i get the same effect =/

you can MAKE a blend and chop that up instead, and then paste on a plain background, but either way it doesn't matter if its a blend or just a picture. You just have to arrange the pieces nicely on the after product.
