KariK Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hi Shelley, The easiest way would be to put the ribbon layer above the embellishment layer, then add a layer mask and paint away the parts that would be underneath. I talked a little bit about it in a past tutorial. Here is the link, hope it helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hi Shelley, with PSE one way I know of is to first place the ribbon over the embellishment. I Make a direct selection on the ribbon by holding the CTRL key while clicking on the thumbnail of the ribbon layer. (This puts marching ants around the ribbon.) Next, I like to lower the opacity of the ribbon layer so I can see what I'm doing. Then I like to zoom in and use the eraser tool with a hard round brush to erase the parts of the ribbon that I want to be underneath the embellishment, leaving the other sections of the ribbon showing on top of the embellishment. Then I take the opacity back to 100%, CTRL D to deselect the marching ants. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 If I'm weaving a ribbon through an alpha I do the following: Put the ribbon over the alpha, make a direct selection of the alpha the way Theresa said by CTRL clicking on the alpha thumbnail. Then select the ribbon layer and erase the bits that you want. I find I can even go over the lines, the ribbon will only be erased inside the marching ants area. This way is a lot quicker. I hope you understand what I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggieB Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I like to make a sandwich, ribbon, embellishment, ribbon. Then I erase the top ribbon. If I am sloppy with the erasing, it doesn't matter because there is a second underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Christine Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I do the same thing as Aggie, sandwiched. Ribbon,embellishment, ribbon. Erase the section that I don't need, it works everytime for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elisha Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I found a newsletter tutorial by using the search site tool on the home page. It's on the green navigation bar on the home page scrapgirls.com. It's a great tool to search the entire site - blog, archived newsletters, boutique! I searched for "weave ribbon" and found this: ScrapSimple Club Concepts Mini Tutorial Weaving Ribbon With ScrapSimple Embellishment Templates: Gathered Borders in the July 13, 2009 newsletter. It's a little old, but it's still a tried and true technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
