Right Edge Cluster: Part 3
Here is another edge cluster I created for this lesson. This cluster is very similar to the first one I made, but I used a different set of elements.
Step Three: Scraplift
- Choose five elements from your stash that are similar to the ones provided in this lesson. For help choosing your own elements, re-read Why These Five Elements from Step One.
- Using your five chosen elements, create an edge cluster similar to mine in Step Three.
What does it mean to scraplift? In this class, “scraplift” means to copy another person’s design using elements from your own stash.
Check Up
- Is your cluster positioned on the right edge of a document? Edge clusters are the theme of lesson four.
- Does your cluster contain a variety of textures?
- Did you stick to a coordinating color theme? Try using elements from the same kit or use my FREE Color Change tutorial (from Lesson 1) to make them match.
- Are all your elements partially off the edge of the document?
- Do you have a wide variety of angles represented in your cluster?
- Did you apply your cluster's drop shadows appropriately? Use my Drop Shadows chart in Step Two as a guide. If you used my action set, do you see a stoplight?
- If you placed my clip over the edge of your document, would it “pin down” all the elements in your cluster?

- Save your cluster for web (File > Save for Web) and share your design in our private class Facebook Group. If you want to run it by me before you post, that is perfectly fine!
- In the description of your post, include the hashtag #cluster04. Then later you can search for the hashtag and see all the lesson four clusters that members have posted.
- Don’t forget! Always include designer credits in the description of your image when posting online.
