Use Those Brushes Challenge!! (win some goodies!)

[SaraAmarie]

I was inspired by a question posted about brushes (https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/community/showthread.php?t=6494) and decided to have an impromptu challenge!! There were a couple examples posted in that thread that look like the swirl brushes were maybe used as a template.

Sooo my challenge to you is on your layout, use a brush as a template. Here's an easy way to do that:
*stamp your brush on its own layer
*put the paper you want in the shape of the brush on top of the stamped layer
*with the paper as your active layer, create a clipping mask (ctrl-alt-G in Photoshop)

Post your layout in the gallery then post a link here by Sunday. I will randomly pick one for a $10GC to my store and I'll have a couple of my CT pick a fav that will receive their choice of element, alpha, or paper pack!

Sound fun?? Lets see those brushes! :thumbup:
