Did You Get the Picture?

Ron here with a ‘sort-of’ sneak peek this Thursday. If you participated in this year’s Winter PSL, you might have already seen the Get the Picture collection. If not, be warned - there’s a digi-spoiler or two in this post! But don’t worry, everyone will be able to get the paper and/or digi kit tomorrow!

I know I’ve said this before, but . . . I love this kit. Seriously. It’s so neutral. Perfect for any photos ‘cuz it’s a photo theme! And it’s grungy and dark. My kit of kits, for sure.

I decided to start with a layout using a few photos from my first CS Retreat in 2010.


Cool, huh?

Next, I was inspired by Tricia’s blog post from earlier this week. When I saw what she did with the masking stencil, I thought “I can do that with digi stuff.” So I did. I started with one of the digi backgrounds instead of coloring a white panel, and used that uber-cool ‘Viewmaster’ stamp as the masking stencil. I chose a ‘heavy oil’ brush and swiped a light beige color across using the stencil technique that I covered in THIS blog post, added a stamped sentiment, layered it on a couple of other pieces of background ‘paper’ and within minutes had a nifty digital card.


Just a couple of ideas of what you can create with this amazing kit. Now, go create something wonderful of your own and share it with someone special!

  2. I am so amazed by what you do with the digi kits!

    Did you see that Tim Holtz has put out a sizzix die that is in the shape of these Viewmaster wheels? I had to order it.

  3. Love the first layout, especially because I'm in it! :)
    The 2nd layout is very cool - looks like a real stencil, like Tricia's technique in her post earlier this week.
