What are you working on (in Oct 2022)?

[Marie-Claire]

I recently saw something like this on Pinterest, and I wanted to try if I could make it myself, here's the result.

The font is a free font I think from creative fabrica, Bomshel Script Slant. I made 3 masks using Carole's Raster to Mask script, which is very easy and fast with the script. That way I could also place a photo above the letters and below the letters instead of a color or paper or pattern.

I used a tube for the leaves, but I don't remember where it comes from.

Marie Claire, STUNNING!  I too saw something like this and did a screen shot of the layouts as inspiration.  I had no idea how to even make it.  This is really beautiful.

 

Mary, I love that layout and the colors are so perfect.

 

Lynda, what a great graphic, I did try the CF spark.  it's pretty cool.

 

Monique, after you create your image for your cup/mugs, what do you use to get them onto the mug.  Or do you send them to a photo store.  They would make great gifts.

[Marie-Claire]

Carole, I have a problem, I think something is wrong with my settings.

 

I got this result with the palette maker 2 script.

photos from my DSLR (photo 1) are the dimensions 5184 x 3456 and there the result is ok.

 

the dimensions of the photos from my mobile (photo 2-3) are 4032 x 3024 and as a result I always get the following ?

 

The dimensions of the photo with the bird (3) are 3840 x2160 and the result is also not ok there.

 

Is there something in my settings that isn't right?

[Marie-Claire]

Susan, thank you,  I'm going to have to do it again, because I've done so much and of course not noted down, what I do remember is that I first made a raster with the edge and filled it in a shade of gray.

A second raster with the top text in a shade of gray

a third raster with the bottom text.

Then came the thinking of how to make the selections, I have to do that again to be able to explain it, because I don't remember how I did it myself ?

[Ann Seeber]

Marie-Claire / Cassel: I "borrowed" your bird photo as I was curious why a bluebird would have no blue in the palette. Here's the result: the extracted photo the script creates and the final product, that was the same as yours, Marie-Claire. Note the blue is gone from the extracted photo!

Marie-Claire: Your Autumn Memories is stunning!

[Marie-Claire]

Ann, thank you ! and I was so busy wondering why I had this sizing problem so that the bruches don't line up, that I didn't even notice that no blue was selected, indeed now that you mention it

[Marie-Claire]

I tried to make a template of the wordart Autumn, and uploaded it in the facebook group,

[Lynda DiGregor]

Marie Claire,

 

I agree with Ann, your Autumn Memories is stunning.

Marie-Claire: Thanks so much for the template. (I LOVE templates! ;-) ) Here is my version. Using Marie-Claire's template, here is Autumn Memories in the Hudson Valley. I used the same photo 3 times. The lettering and the border are a St. Patrick's Day paper.  I added flying bird silhouettes, and the Mallard ducks are tubes.

 

[Bonnie Ballentine]

Marie-Claire, I downloaded your template. I will be trying it as soon as I get my computer on the straight and narrow again. Thank you!

 

Becky Bee at Digital Scrapbooking posted a layout with this template that I liked so I downloaded the template. I had to search a bit but it is there. I am not sure I am happy with my  layout but it will have to do until later. I did modify the template a bit. Original used only 2 photos.

Susan, I put this one on a mug :)

[MoniqueN.]

Wonderful colours, Ann! Like the colour of the font too :)

[Ann Seeber]

MoniqueN: How do you put a design on a mug?

[MoniqueN.]

Ann, you have companies who do that. Over here (I think it's a from origin an American company) does that. www.vistaprint.nl

[Bonnie Ballentine]

Corel has a tutorial on how to transfer images to a coffee mug. https://learn.corel.com/projects/packing-tape-image-transfers/

 

Don't know how durable it would be. They also have tutorials for transfering to candles, wood, stone...

[Marie-Claire]

Thank you all  ? about Autumn memories

[Mary Solaas]

MarieClaire - Thanks for the template - fantastic on how you made it!

Ann Seeber - love how you interpreted it.

 

I'm so glad I am a part of this wonderful community. Sharing what you learn; caring about each other; bolstering each other; - glad that God guided me here!

For those not subscribed to the latest Random Challenge: here's my entry. It's my granddaughter showing off the Caracal kittens at the Claws & Paws Animal Park.

Halloween themes mostly

Playing with Cassel's new frames script, I came up with this. I added the textures and the colors came from the photo. This is a Serval at Jackie's zoo.

[Susan Ewart]

H and Ann, great layouts.  Ann I love the texture you did in your frames.  I love that framed look.  I just bought the ankscript (10 min. ago) and cant wait to try it out.  You sure have great subjects (cant go wrong with cats, dogs or any critter really).

 

Bonnie, I totally forgot about that method.  Wonder if it would go through the dishwasher.  You know how hard it is to get packing tape off of stuff, it might be durable.  And I know there is a crystal clear packing tape, I'd go for that one to keep the image saturated.

[Mary Solaas]

I have a problem in making a new letter of the stitched alpha tutorial in Lab 6 Mod 8. In the past my paint brush tool made the stitching without a problem. In trying it the past couple of days, the paint brush tool won't make the stitching as it did before - BUT the airbrush tool works just like the paint brush tool worked before! WHY?????

[Cassel]

Mary, can you check this article in case it is listed.

 

I am thinking it has to do with the Brush Variance palette as it is a common issue.

[Mary Solaas]

I did look at it and, yes, it was the brush variance that was causing the problem. Thanks!
