rslodge: Yes, you can create paint splatters by using the brushes included in Photoshop Elements or downloading and using special splatter brushes. Search for "splatter brushes" and you will probably find many free sets.

babycampo: When you paint on the mask with white, it should show the pixels from the current layer. If you want to see just the pixels on the current layer with no opacity, try making the opacity of the brush 100% on the Options bar.

I searced and have watched several vids on layer masking and this is the clearest most detailed. Most assume the user already knows some basic things and skips essential steps but you gave detail and step by step which helps tremendously!
