How To Use Digital Elements for Masking and Misting – Tutorial

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!
