Template Tuesdays 8 (Freebie Template)

I got ready ahead of time this week--hope you enjoy it! This template contains two "fading" photomasks. Just clip your photo to them (ctrl+g in PSE, alt+ctrl+g in CS+) and watch them fade out! It can be a fun effect. In my original layout, it faded into a big picture that I put in the background, which tied everything together. Just click on the preview to download (8.46Mb).

 

And here's the layout that inspired it:

Enjoy, and have a lovely week!

Hi gang--another Tuesday rolls around! This time I thought I'd go clean on ya. If you haven't tried that style yet, this is your perfect chance to give it a go! Just add a photo, journaling, place and date, and one embellishment, and you're good to go. Click on the image to download, and check out my layout using the template while you wait! And have a wonderful Tuesday, too! =)

Just a little trick that I used which you might find interesting: I first colored the mask, then clipped the photo to it, and lightly erased the edges of the photo so the color of the mask could show through. I think it adds to the softness of the page.

Also, in the template you'll find a bar of white that goes behind the wordart--that was just because the color I used didn't stand out too well over the photo. So feel free to hide or not use that layer if you want something even cleaner!
