Stash Stretchers #2 | Video Tutorial + FINAL CALL
Clone, Blend, Mask and Manipulate to create NEW Background Papers
I’m back with some quick tips for your creative process and in turn I’ll teach you how to get more out of your digital scrapbooking stash.
In today’s video
Ready Made Mixed Media Papers ARE a great time saver and starting point but when the design is not quite perfect for something you have already created or have in mind what do you do then?
Learn to quickly blend two papers together to make a new one.
Learn how to use the Clone Stamp to customise a ready made mixed media paper and hide unwanted areas.
Learn how to use the Clone Stamp to ‘grab’ design elements from ready made mixed media papers and create stamp-able elements to use them elsewhere on your layout
Learn how using Layer Masks can give you more control and helps you edit in a non destructive way.
