Holiday Charms tubes

[Brian Dowling]

This family history website illustration features the Holiday Charms tubes.  Easy to use and a good few options with some nice delicate motifs.  I struggled a bit on how to use these nice tubes and in the end just went for draping them.

 

I drew 4 vectors on separate layers with a curved bottom and stretched the bottom of three so the drape would start and end in the same place but hang lower on each chain.  I then used the Vector Tubes script to automate how they followed a vector shape changing the charm on each one.  I erased the top half of each layer to remove charms I did not want to show.  These may work better on a scrapbooking image as my images are quite small on my site, but I found the lighter the background the better and also added Gaussian Blur to help focus on the charms.  I also added little flares to a couple and two rings for the chains to hang from.  It will be up on the site at www.dowlingfamily.info  on the 8th December only each year.

 

Other products used in this image: Custom Calendar; Word Edge Cutout (on the card with the left side mirrored as if it only read 'Greetings' from the front of the closed card); Acrylic Glitter (on the logo).
