Christmas Lights tubes

Recommended Posts

This family history website illustration features the Christmas Lights tubes.  Easy to use and a good few options with different colours or multiple colours.  I found the darker the background the better... I also added little flare tube to a number of them to make them pop some more.  It will be up on the site at www.dowlingfamily.info only on the 7th December each year.

 

Having created the main image, the card for the message looked too bright so I darkened it and then Effects/Illumination Effects/Lights to give a torch light look.  I tried using the Christmas Lights tube with the Vector Tubes to automate the following of a vector shape, but it found some other lines in the shapes I used and looked odd.  Curiously, it seemed better to draw them by hand.

 

Other products used in this image: Custom Calendar' Distressed Edge (on the card); Acrylic Glitter (on the logo).
