This family history website image features the Paper Strips script. These images are to attract attention to what might otherwise be a stuffy information-only site. The script worked best for me with a 3600×3660 blank image. Then it was a simple matter of picking papers. While I picked many contrasting papers, they are then re-picked by the script at random so some may not be selected and some repeat which is best in the end. As it’s all very busy I placed them on a darker mottled version of my website background which forms the outer frame. Also, to differentiate between strips I added a bevel so the overlap could be seen better before adding a corner punch and drop shadow. It may be a good idea to rotate the row 180 degrees and then the drop shadow can show on the strips.
Other scripts in use: Distressed Edge (on the frame to make a hole in my website page look); also, the brushes Corner Punch A was used easily to add interest to the corner. As for the strips… they are from papers created with Dots & Diamonds, Filligrane, Gingham & Argyle, Parallel Lines, Plaid 2, Stripes#1… the fun never stops.
Very nice, and educational. I’m have an elderly (ancient) Irish cousin who signs his emails “slan” …now I know how to pronounce it! I wish I were a Dowling!
