Hold on masterclass. Paperclip. I used the Pattern filled shape tutorial for the word Robin, overlay and texture from a tutorial, and of course the corner punches which I absolutely adore using. I’ve been working on Xmas cards, which I think has come through in this project in the colour scheme. But then robins signify Xmas, along with red berries.
Another Sept TUT/TECH Challenge. Paperclips.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thank you Annie. I’m not a scrapbooker, and many know I like to keep my projects quite minimal. I love scrolling through looking at all the projects. There is so much talent.</p>
September tut/tech challenge paperclip. More than one tutorial used in this page. Notebook edge, cutout effect (effects, 3D effects), Paint splatter, with a slight shadow, which I remember from one of the masterclasses a long time ago. Ruled paper, notebook paper with lifted corner and of course the paperclip.
Cassel’s freebie doily which I colourized using the paint brush technique, vector tube beads around photo, Cassel corner punches. The papers I created myself, along with the word frames and silhouette.
Carole, a preset would might be better than a script, saying that once I had written the text, the steps I used were few and simple, 2 guide lines, and the perspective tool. Unless a script or presets would give more options like wavy text tapering into the distance, to give perspective. Now that would take more time to create manually.
I’m so pleased that I inspired you to get into the Christmas spirit, even it was only to get it out of your system, until nearer the festive season Trish. You made a beautiful festive card.
Mask maker script, flower punch, character map, seamless tiling for the background paper, using the masked photo, effects, distortion effects, twirl, buttonize. For the text, I used the selection tool, promote to a new layer, in order to make the letter B stand out. I read the quote online, and thought seeing as we are now in September and winter is looming around the corner, it inspired me to use a photo I took of a Blue Jay, around this time last year.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Dawn, thank you for you kind words, they are always appreciated. Best wishes, happy PSPing one and all! Sue</p>
Michele, thank you yet again for your kind comment. I have been using the maskmaker script , with the photo mask script. As I’ve said, I bought them quite some time ago, and only just started using them, as I like to make my own masks. x
I wrote the text on two separate layers, converted them to raster layers. I used the same size font for both. Pulled down a guide line, placed both text on the guide line. Using the perspective tool, I narrowed the one end. I pulled down another guide line, and placed it above the other guide line. Using the perspective tool again I narrowed the letter L, until it sat on the top guide line, matching the n in Sask. The largest letters sat on the bottom guide line and the narrowest letters sat on the top guide line.
A script would be such a time saver. Although it was tedious, the end result was worth it.
Would you say it’s too early to be making Christmas cards? I don’t. 🙂 The days are getting noticeably shorter. And I have lots of cards to make. Here’s one that I will be printing, and posting, others will be sent via email.
Playing with the mask maker script. Invert mask data was also used. Chisel, buttonize, ripple effect frames. Painted Lady butterfly, and purple sage flowers with rain drops on them. “Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of it’s own”. Charles Dickens
In this challenge I used 62 different photos. Double pages is deffinately the way to go to show case my photos. Thank you Carole. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed taking part. X
Here’s my day 6. I used the paper crease tutorial, to divide the background. Changed all the letters to red, used the picture tube script to create a neat rope. I stayed with the mask technique to place the photos inside the date and word. Character map was used on the heading, lifted photo tutorial. Instead of creating a grunge effect I created an overlay. Placing the beads took the longest time to do. Rotating, and then erasing either side for the rope to thread through, shadowing.
- Thank you ever so much for your very kind comment Sharon, it means a lot to me. Photography is the story I fail to put into words. Mother Nature at her best.
Day 5 of the double take challenge. I didn’t have to do much to create this page. I used the sky for the background paper at the bottom and added a subtle blinds texture. Perspective for the text. I didn’t have to crop the main photo as I took a panoramic shot of a section of the lake. In excess of 11 million water birds congregate here during the spring and then again in the autumn, en route to and from their breeding grounds. The framed photos are just a few of the species that can be seen there.
Thank you Lynda. When it come to the maskmaker script, I have a great deal of control of the script. They are going to prove to be very handy.
Playing around with some of last year’s photos. Seeing as I’ve been sorting through photos to use in the double take challenge. Adjustment layers, effects, 3D effects, chisel. Inner bevel, and paste into selection. Using the selection tool. Tennessee Warbler.
I bought the maskmaker script and the photomask script quite some ago, this evening I tried them out for the first time. I had to watch the maskmaker tutorial first. Both scripts are awesome, I will be using them a lot more. In this project I used a tutorial from the campus blog, for the text. Object, turn text to curves, as character shapes. I used both scripts, and merged them together. The background frame I used the brush variance tool to erase a large portion of the original photo, blur, flood filled a new layer white placed it below the frame, merged both layers, added a texture, merged the masked groups, and copied and paste. I selected only the image, and buttonized.
Here is day 4. Again I used a sky photo, which had a hint of red, from the sunset. After many random clicks, the kaleidoscope delivered another lovely background paper. Text on a path, lifted corner. Gem stones from picture tubes. A plaque created using 3 tutorials from Cassels.
Everyone’s work is outstanding, and extremely interesting, so many different techniques used too. I feel after looking at the pages and reading the postings, I’ve completed a trip around the world in 80 seconds. Well done one and all, I love everything you have done.
Thank you Carole. It’s hard to beleive that I started out with a photo of blue sky with some white clouds. I use the effects tools a lot. I clicked and clicked on the random button, in the Kaleidoscope, until I found what I was looking for. I agree those tools in PSP create some truly unique background papers. I used the mirror tool too, so that they would fit perfectly in the centre. I used a brush, I tried to use one of your lace tubes, but the magic wand wouldn’t pick up every detail, so I used a brush I had. It’s a photoshop brush, from https://myphotoshopbrushes.com/brushes/. I made a mask out of it. I find that brushes or masks make a subtle divide. Perhaps you could make some lace brushes for the store. I’d buy them. x
Playing around with some of last year’s photos. Seeing as I’ve gone through them to select what I need for the challenge. Adjustment layers, effects, 3D effects, chisel. Inner bevel, and paste into selection. Using the selection tool. Tennessee Warbler.
This is day 3 of the double take challenge.
Libera, thank you for you lovely comment. You are going to have to wait a few days, to see the bird word much, much bigger. 🙂 I have plans for it.
Shutterpixi, thank you for your encouraging comment. I have a high standard to maintain, phew! I hope I can deliver. 🙂
Dave, really good job on your magnolia page. Keep up the good work.
Day two of the challenge. For the background I used a sky photo which I took, played with the opacity, and kaleidoscope. Mirror, so that the two background paged matched. I did the same with the second page of photos., to achieve a sort of pyramid effect.
This what I created for last year’s Double Take Challenge.
