Photoshop Action Freebie!!

Okay, I'm no Atomic Cupcake but a friend at The Digi Shoppe asked if someone could create an action to make it look like a pin is going through a piece of fabric or paper. I happen to like my technique for this effect, so I created an action for you to use if you want to. You can download it here:

Easy Pin Action

Make sure that you put a selection around the piece you want cut out BEFORE running the action, using the marquee or lasso tool. Here's what it looks like when you're finished (I hope!!)



EDIT AT 7:30 pm EASTERN: Something weird is going on either with Blogger or with Photobucket, because my blog header and some other graphics have just disappeared, including the one that illustrates the pin action. You can see it HERE if you can't see it on the blog.
