A happy 4th freebie

I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July!
A couple of freebie papers for you today.
(I just had to, we are up to 250 subscribers) I am so honored! :~)

I made the lighter version first, then I used yesterdays lesson. I duplicated the layer and changed the blend mode to multiply. Reduced my opacity on the second layer until I liked the color. Same paper but 2 different looks. Try and keep this in mind with the materials you already have. It is a quick and easy way to change the look!
For future designs.... do you have a favorite? Light or Dark?

4th of July freebie

Happy Day Everyone!!

Answering questions & another mask

If you have a rar. folder that you need to unzip. You can download a free trial of winRAR here. CNet has a very good record of safe downloads. It is a 40 day free trial. I downloaded it a couple of days ago and it worked great. When your 40 days are up, you can uninstall it from your computer and be back to normal. Next... If you come to a texture that is just an image such as the Antique1 texture. Right click and copy it. This will copy the image to your computers clipboard. Open CS or Elements. Hit Ctrl N for a new document. Your computer will remember the copied size and make a new document to fit it. Once your new blank document is opened. Hit Ctrl V, this paste your image into the document. Now save in your texture folder. Another thing; if you watch the video but you are working in Elements and don't have a layer mask button. Do This. Open a new levels adjustment layer. Click ok without making any changes. This now gives you a layer mask to paint on. Click on your mask to m...
