Blending Tutorial, Freebie, Masks and Backgrounds

[Misty Cato]

I've posted an updated blending tutorial to my blog (http://mistycato.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/blending-made-easy/). If you've always wondered how to blend a photo into a background paper - now is the time to give it a try! There is a download included in the Blending Made Easy (http://mistycato.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/blending-made-easy/)tutorial with a free background paper and clipping mask to get you started.

There are more clipping masks (https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=20207&cat=374&page=1) and subtle background papers (https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=20209&cat=374&page=4) that work great for blending now available in the store. Here is a look (images are linked).

Awesome! I downloaded the freebie and the tutorial - your explainations ALWAY make things so much easier to follow. :)
