Welcome to Kim Jensen’s Designer Challenge for April 2022. This month we are going to do a technique challenge. Your challenge is to create a photo mask using Kim’s paint splatters. She has several kits with gorgeous paint splats. This is a great way to stretch your stash and use them for something a little different. I have included a photo tutorial on how I did this.
Step 1
Open a new document. Open three paint splats (or more, but at least three must be in your mask)
Step 2
Move them (I moved the blue one because there was blank space in the top right) to make a solid fill for most of the center. I also rotated the green splat. Once I liked the look, I merged my three layers into one.
Step 3
Bring your photo in and clip it to your mask
Step 4
Play around with the mask. I transformed my mask and made it slightly longer since my photo was a horizontal photo. I then copied the mask two more times and slightly moved one a little to the left and the other a little to the right until I was satisfied with the shape of my mask in relation to my photo.
Step 5
When you are satisfied with the outcome you can merge all those layers and complete your layout
Wasn’t that fun? Now if you really enjoyed this and want to go a step farther, as an ADDED Bonus prize qualifier you will also need to incorporate at least 3 different Plastic Cliptastic clips as part of your mask. I have added onto the tutorial to show how to do this. Instead of doing Step 5 above, start here with this Step 5.
**Step 5
On my bottom mask layer, I brought in a plastic cliptastic element. I moved it to where I wanted it on the mask then I unclipped my photo and merged the clip to the mask and clipped my photo back onto the mask. I continued doing this until I was satisfied with the results (I ended up adding 6 clips to my mask)
Step 6
Finish off your layout however you see fit
Here is my final layout. I chose to do the bonus challenge. I used Sweet American Summer for the mask and main design and Currently Cliptastic, Plastic Cliptastic 1 and Plastic Cliptastic 4-Weather in my mask

Kim has many more kits with paint Splatters in them...these are just a few.
