    I absolutely panicked. Then I searched my stash for "mask" and found the PERFECT template. Whew. Crisis averted. :)

    It seems complicated, but you will be amazed how quickly it happens. I read and reread her instructions and when I sat down, it seriously was 5 minutes to do the challenge portion. I went a little crazy and did too many photos the first round, cause I LOVE LOVE this technique.

    Thank you for the challenge and new technique to add to my book of tricks. I love the way this turned out and can't wait to use this technique more in the future! I hope it's okay that I added some paint splatters behind the photo!

    I can use a mask for this, but does anyone have an artisan tutorial on how to make a mask or route me to the right option on the program to start? Thank you

    @cfile /Christa-

    Would it be ok to use another photo on the page as well as the blended black and white and the "popped up' framed color portion of the b&w photo?
