ArtPlay Abrazo Inspiration

1. Mixed Media Effect

USE A VARIETY OF ELEMENT WITH LAYER STYLES TO CREATE A COLLAGE style digital scrapbooking page.

• Choose an Artsy Paper from the ArtPlay Palette Abrazo as a quick and exciting Layout Foundation.
• Clip your photo to one of the Clipping Masks from Hipster Plume FotoBlendz No. 8.
• Embellish with Dimensional Elements and apply Layer Styles to your extracted photo subject.

2. Identify Accent Colors

Use these eye-catching colors sparingly to lead the eye in your artsy digital scrapbooking page.

• Identify Bright Colors in your photos and support them with similar elements from the ArtPlay Abrazo Collection.
• You can also introduce Accent Colors using a trio of similar colored Embellishments to create a Visusal Triangle in your photo artistry.
• Notice how Heather has added a pink FotoGlow, sequins, and butterfly to Lead the Eye around her design.

3. Apply Blending Modes

Change the Blending Mode of a clipping mask layer to directly affect the blended photo in your photo artistry.

• Clip your photo to one of the Clipping Masks from Hipster Plume FotoBlendz No. 8.
• Click on the ‘Normal’ tab in the Layers Panel and select a new Blending Mode from the drop-down menu.
• The Blending Mode will directly affect the photo clipped to the mask layer ‘blending’ it with the underlying Layout Foundation.
