As you may know, this blog hop is progressive. Each of the UA DT members are blogging about a page element or technique. THEN, once you've read all the blogs, combine all 8 elements to create your own layout and become eligible to win the Birthday Queen Grand Prize! So, are you ready?
The technique I want to share with you is a simple one, nothing new, but it adds LOTS of texture to your page.
**For my challenge, I'd like you to use a masking technique somewhere on your layout.**
It doesn't matter to me if you use paint, glimmer mist, other dyes, or whatever. Just somewhere on your layout, add a masked image. It's that easy, it's that simple.
Here are some examples I have for you, both of which are masked titles.
First up is one I did with the UA June kit "Puttin' on the Ritz".
"Sunset Stroll"
Here, I used paint over alpha stickers to create the mask.
And the 2nd is with some Bella Blvd. papers.
"She's got Spirit"
And here I used Glimmer Mist (Cherry Limeade flavor) to make the mask. Then I decided to outline the letters in pen so they'd show up even better. One idea I'd like to try is to mask a title and then stitch the letters instead of outlining them. ;)
For this challenge though, you don't have to mask your title. It can a mask of anything and be on any part of your LO. So go have some creative fun with all your artsy supplies! :D
And that's element #2 of 8.
For the next element, visit Jana Eubank's blog here.
REMEMBER: When you've gathered all six elements, get creating, and don't forget to post your project in the Urban Anthology gallery by Sunday June 28th at Midnight (PST) for a chance to win the Urban Anthology Birthday Queen grand prize!
And lastly, I'd like to give away a little RAK of my own. For a chance to win a $5 GC to the Urban Anthology store, tell me this:
