First things first: the freebie elements (and the last part of the It's Magic! kit). You can download by clicking the preview. It contains buttons, stars, a starry overlay, a wand with sparkles and see through bubbles.
Do you have any requests for my next freebie? Word-art, templates or another kit? And what kind of kit do you want? Let me know!
sorry, link has been removed!
And now another tut. This time I will explain the magic of the clipping mask. It's a simple way to design elements with your papers.
Step 1: Open a patterned paper, any paper will do.
----------------------------------------------------------
Step 2: make another layer (IMPORTANT!) and draw any shape on it. I made a star, color doesn't mather.
----------------------------------------------------------
Step 3: change the layer order, the shape should be UNDER the paper. You can't see it, but it's still there.
----------------------------------------------------------
Step 4: And now the magic trick! Move your mouse between the layers (where I draw the circle in the last image), hold the ALT-button on your keyboard (you'll see that your cursor changes now) and click. MAGIC! This is called the clipping mask, the paper is now clipped to your shape.
To use your shape, save it first or merge the layers. You have now created an element!
