I tried to make my own mask but couldn't get it on a separate layer in PS Elements so I used a mask from Oh Darlin by Jopke. Thanks for the challenge!

I love how your page turned out, but if you do still want to learn to make your own masks, it is really quite easy in PSE. Let me know if you want any tips, but basically you just put your photo on a background and then click the button in the top right that looks like a piece of paper with the corner folded down. That creates a new layer for you to work on without damaging the photo. When you are done with the mask, simply drag that layer down so it's below the photo and then clip the photo to it.

Thank you for this information! This is good to know because I wanted to make my own mask over the flower - will play around with it when I get some time.
