Lately, I’ve noticed a new artsy trend in scrapbooking. Traditional scrapbookers are laying die cuts and punched shapes on background paper before splattering the canvas with a contrasting color of ink or paint. When the page is dry, they remove the shapes to reveal the clean solid image against the speckled background. As a digital scrapbooker, I immediately thought about how easy this would be to recreate in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. The results are equally beautiful, with a lot less mess.
