Basic Scrap – Mod. 2

[Denise Mueller]

Carole,

I’m getting the “hang of it”.   You’ll notice that I “mirrored” the tag.  Maybe that was a “faux pas” to have the arrow pointing the other way but I wanted it where it was not hiding anything important.

Also, I never could Flood fill my Raster 1.    It just was not showing anything.  I had to add a colored paper and then change the color to white.  I can not understand why the Flood fill did not work on my bottom Raster.   It was highlighted and both colors were white in the materials palette.

Denise, one common “issue” is that the Mode might be set to something other than None. Can you check that?

I just finished my 2nd module.  I didn’t have the alpha, so I used the one that came with the “Love Spoken Here” kit. I used the flower, bubble strings, papers and other elements from Gina Jones Pretty Birds kit.  I didn’t have a banner, so I played with the shadow on a separate layer with the flower and the “bubble” word elements to give the effect of a shadow behind the elements.  I did give shadows to the letters and changed the color.  I am still having fun with the Color Fill tool and the Color Changer tool.  Each does something different.  For instance, I used the Color Changer tool to change the colors to the “bubble” word elements in order not to cover the words.  That was a neat trick to tone down the colors in the bright background paper.  Oh, I also changed the direction of the stripes in that paper – it was originally horizontal, but I turned it around using the pick tool.  I believe, though, that there is a simpler way to do it but I am not sure where to find it.

Mary, if you want to rotate a paper, you can go to Image > Rotate > Free rotate and choose 90 degrees there. It tends to require less resources than the Pick tool.

Thanks – that’s the one.
