Flutterfly Clipping Mask Freebie!

Hi, again. Here it is: Flutterfly Clipping Mask No.1! This freebie is great for clipping a photo or stamped as a journaling block. Try duplicating clipped layers of digital paper and applying different layer settings to each to create custom paper. In PSE4, layer a photo (or paper) directly over the clipping mask layer. Now, with the photo layer selected in the layers pallet, hold Ctrl key and click the g key; this clips the photo. Hold Ctrl key and click e key to merge layers. Experiment & have fun!

Clipping masks...

Good morning! A couple posts back I mentioned clipping masks. Here's a scrappage I created using my Boys Rock Layered Template [freebie] No.4 and a paper (that I recolored) from my Lilac Sea [freebie] Paper Pack. I turned the entire template side ways, and then merged all the blocks on the left side of the template (not the frames!). Next, I layered a photo of my cousin's beautiful daughter over the merged blocks, and clipped. It's a nice variation to the typical photo block. I added a couple ties (Jennifer Adams Donnelly, designerdigitals.com) to secure the stars around "daddy's girl" and filled in the remaining spaces with another photo and more recolored paper. Jazzed up the stars and title... done! Quick and easy. Try using the burn tool in the corners of your photos; this adds a little "pop" to your subject.

More pages soon... Shelley
