Thanks for the kind words, ladies.
I wish I had been on those trips with you, Ann. It must be breathtaking to see it in person.
I used one of Corel’s shatter collages and found the wonderful pics on Google. Combined a couple of backgrounds from PixelScrapper. The string element with the beads was also from PixelScrapper. I wanted to create some tags or labels with the locations for each pic, but I ran out of time so I went with plain text. The font is Brush Script MT which is a system font, I think.
Thanks so much, Sue and Ann.
Sue, I don’t know how I do it, either. Sometimes they’re not very good, but I share the “scapbooky” ones that I’m proud of here in the Campus.
Ann, the text cutter is an option you can choose when you use the text tool. It creates a cutout of the text from the layer beneath the text layer. It creates a new image of just the text cutout with a transparent background. It also shows as a separate layer on the original image. That’s the one I typically use. There is a cutter preview option that shows what it will look like before you actually cut it. I hope that makes sense. I made a little pic that might help. If I didn’t explain it well, here’s a link to using it https://help.corel.com/paintshop-pro/v23/en/official-help/index.html#page/Corel_PaintShop_Pro%2Fcreating-a-text-cutout-filled-with-an-image.html
My daily gaming theme today was Awesome Autumn. In order to get the colors I wanted I combined a gradient with a background from Pixel Scrapper (now Digital Scrapbooking); the flowers are from AnnieC; the font is Autumn Embrace Floral from Creative Market. They are all freebies I had in my arsenal! The illustration was found on Google. I used the text cutter for the titles and applied inner bevels and drop shadows. Would have done a more interesting outer frame, but ran out of time. These daily pics are sometimes exercises in “how much can I get done in the amount of time I have left?”
Hi, all. I got started very late and really didn’t know what to do for the Powder Pink Style daily theme for my gaming group. I searched through my templates for inspiration and ended up using one from Rachel Designs. I changed all the elements in the template to different pinks, applied different textures to them, resized and moved them around a bit. (You might not be able to see the textures unless you click on the pic.) The background is from Creative Fabrica and I used Cassel’s Bow 11 script on it. The font is Wanted Signature and the woman is my avatar from the game. As one of our favorite members of the campus says, “Thanks for taking a peek.”
C = Construction Worker ~ I wonder if we can get all of the characters from the Village People before the month is up. LOL
Very nice, Corrie. The letters look great and the chain link helps illustrate your story. I’m sad the wildflowers are gone.
Nicely done, Minka. The compass rose on the background really lifts the l/o up a level.
Very pretty, Marie-Claire. Is your original image square? If not, try resizing the longest side to 600 with a locked aspect ratio.
Susan, that picture will make a beautiful card. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Oh, and tell your hubby that he’s pretty funny and you’re a good sport!
Nicely done, Corrie. You used so many different techniques to achieve your result. And I love the color scheme.
