Hello! Francine here again. Today I am going to show you how to use digital elements as masks on a hybrid layout. Here is the page I made using this technique.
I used Notions Pink & Co Elements kit by Jen Allyson for this layout.
Other supplies needed:
Photo Paper
Spray Ink or Mists
Patterned Papers
Journaling spot, letter stickers and buttons
Step 1
Prepare the large photo by layering the ribbon wrapped frame over it
Print out all photos.
Step 2
Make a new document that is the size of a sheet of photo paper and copy the elements onto it. Include two copies of the banner and buttons; one copy will be used for the mask, and the other on the finished page.
Step 3
Cut out the pieces that will be used for masking leaving a large border (about 1/4 inch) around the pieces
Step 4
Arrange patterned papers, photos and masks until you are happy with the layout
Step 5
Remove photos and spray lightly with mist.
Discard masks
Step 6
Cut out second copy of images and add to page along with the photos
Finish page off with title, journaling and additional buttons.

Because you can use digital elements over and over again, they work really well as masks. Simply print and cut out! What project would you use this technique on?
Until next time!

What a cool tutorial! I’m definitely going to have to try that out.
This is really great! I’ve been wanting to get on the misting bandwagon and this is definitely pushing me that way. Also I love how you’ve used the digital elements. TFS!
Nice job, Francine! This is very cute!
Thanks Jen and Mary!
Great idea! I love the look but know my hybrid limitations
I love seeing what others can do though!
