How to use Photo Masks with Picmonkey

The first time I purchased and downloaded photo masks, I thought I had been cheated........so in this simple tutorial I'll show you how to print photo masks on your own 8" by 11" paper....

 Here's the link to picmonkey.com

Open picmonkey

Choose Design

drag your mouse over the 8X10

You want your background transparent

On the left of the screen go to the commands

Click the little SQUARE TOOL

CANVAS COLOR

Click transparent

Your screen should look like this

Now we're going to get the mask

Click on the little butterfly (OVERLAYS)

Click on YOUR OWN

Open the file where you have downloaded and saved the overlay

Click on the overlay you want to use

Click on the corner commands

Drag the corners to make the mask the size you want it to be.

Now we're going to color the mask to match your paper

Click on the mask

The OVERLAY WINDOW will open

Run your mouse over the COLOR BAR until you find the 

color you are happy with.

Here I've choose green

Here I've chose purple.......see how easy that is.

A tip I use here...I download a small sample of my paper and add it to the screen for the match I want.

 I chose brown....

You can add your pictures and other elements now or print the mask alone on your paper, then add your photos and elements...
