This is where we can use the erase tool that is too big so let’s go smaller and just erase the edges, very lightly. That way it kind of blends in with the background. So we just erased the edges. Now if you even want to go further, you can go back to your styling, your blending options and you can see if it will blend in. Just simply back click in through the options here, dissolve... none of them really worked, that one works pretty good because it makes it look a different but for this particular case, I am just going to use the normal one.
