Coffee Stain Creator

Another fun little action: This one creates a coffee stain in a new image, which you can then drag into an existing montage, scrap page, creation or anything else you want to do with it. I suppose you could leave it as a single image, too, but where’s the fun in that?
In my example image, I used the Polaroid frame that comes with Photoshop Elements 7 to create a little stack of images, then I copied the coffee stain layer on top of it. I have to admit that the starting image was adjusted just a bit with my Cross Processed action, found in Fun Foto FX to give it more of a "Polaroidy" look.
Next, I converted it to a Smart Layer with the action I posted earlier so that resizing it won’t cause pixelization or blurring. Now it’s ready to be distorted.
I changed the blending mode on each of the two new coffee stain layers (I made a copy of the first one I dragged over) to Multiply & Color and moved them around just a bit.
On a new layer on top, I grabbed one of the variety of "Splat" brushes in my collection and dabbed a few extra splashes around, changed their blend & adjusted the opacity.
Let’s see what you can do with it - post an image or two to the Photoshop Elements Techniques Pool.
