Color Collection ~ Teal = freebie mask and overlay

Ahoy there! Today's new goodies will be coming from the newest release in my shop COLOR COLLECTION ~ TEAL
A nice ocean/beach-y themed kit, and to start it off, I have made for you a mask with an overlay :) woo hoo!

For those who are not used to using these, you just simply place your photo over top of the black mask, merge it down onto the mask, then drop the overlay onto the top, I know the steps are the same pretty much in all programs, I use Photoshop, for me, I just use CTRL+ALT+G and it merges my photo onto the mask, just make sure you are on the photo layer when you do it


LAYER 1 MASK


LAYER 2 WOULD BE YOUR PHOTO MERGED DOWN
LAYER 3 OVERLAY


FINISHED PRODUCT

When you are happy with what you have created, remember to save it as PNG file :)

You can do so much with masks, they are a ton of fun to play with and use, I tend to use them if I want a photo inserted on a page and I am not so pleased with the excess of the photo, or occasionally there are people/objects in the background of a photo that I wish to eliminate


Here it is, I overlaid other scrolls and items on the page to give it some movement, you can do soo much with masks and layering, I hope you try it out!

Today's freebies will be the MASK & OVERLAY

This new kit COLOR COLLECTION ~ TEAL is in the Etsy shop as well as others, the links to the shop and the link to the free for server use kits are on the right sidebar where they always hang out :)
