yellowrose Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I thought I could figure it out but I tried the paint bucket and that didn't work. Then I tried clipping a colored paper to them and that didn't work. I'm sure it is something simple, but please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy M Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Sheryl, I will try and help. Add a blank layer on top of the embellishment you want to color, then clip that blank layer to the template. Fill the blank layer will your color, then change the blending mode of the color layer. See what you get. It's the same with a paper, just clip the paper to the template, then change the blending mode. Those blending modes are the key to templates. Have you downloaded the book Angie put together? It has screen-shots and everything, it's pretty nice to have a reference. You can get it free here Scrap Girls ScrapSimple Instructions Handbook.
