Head on over to Creative Design Outlet on April 19 and pick up this fun Inspired By kit by Abstract Creations! This great beach kit was inspired by Jessica Dougherty's tube 39-3, but can be used with any tube!! I paired it with Robert Freeman, who is also available at CDO. 
And here is a cluster frame I made from the kit. You can download it here

I'm on a Mac so when i use Command you may need to use Ctrl

Here we go :)

Open a new canvas 650x650
Place frame 2 on canvas. Command+T and angle frame to the right.
Place frame 1 behind frame 2. See my tag for placement.
Add paper 18 below frame 1. Using your magic wand tool, click inside the frame.
Select>Modify>Expand by 3. Select>Inverse. Hit delete on paper layer. Deselect.
Now do the same, but adding paper 22 behind frame 2.

With the mask layer highlighted, Select>All, Edit>Copy.
On paper layer, hit Q to activate Quick Mask Mode. If you see red, you're doing it right! Edit>Paste. Hit Q again to turn off Quick Mask Mode. The red should disappear and be marching ants.
Now click the Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of your layer palette box.
Rasterize the layer and drag it over to your tag canvas.

A little bit ago, I posted about how I needed to remove some items from my Skullz N Stripez kit (you can read it here). I have finally replaced those elements, re-released the kit and made it available for purchase again. If you have already purchased this kit and would like the updated version, please send me an email with your receipt to: bananas_68@yahoo.com with the subject DND SKULLZ N STRIPEZ. I get a lot of mail, so please make sure you use that subject line so I don't miss your email!!
