Contest AND A Free Video Tutorial: Introduction to Layer Masks in PSE

Keep reading for for information on a fun contest I'm running for International Scrapbooking Day!

Recently, I was asked how I made the photo in the LO below (using my A Matter of Time kit) appear to be only halfway in the painted frame.

I did it by using a Layer Mask to hide the parts of the frame that I didn't want to show. Newer versions of Photoshop Elements make it easy to add a layer mask and in older versions of PSE, you can do a neat little trick to add a layer mask - and in this video, I show you how to do it both ways.
