Sue Thomas Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 My interpretation of the stencil. I will be using it as an Easter tag. Currently I have been creating my own Easter vector shapes. Closer to Easter I will post for download for you, a vector shape Easter egg tag, which will have the hole already punched out. I won't post any of the others, as I want to encourage you to create your own. I also created the vector flower in the tag. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue very nice, but now I almost don't dare to show - when finished - the one I'm currently working on because I had a quite similar idea for an easter stencil! Today I just bought PSP2023 so I'm still in the proces of customizing it, not everything goes automatic. Once that is finished to my satisfaction I'll resume my easteregg.? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see your interpretation too Corrie. Even if you think it's a similar concept, it will still have your spin on it. I bought PSP 2023 too but have not downloaded it yet. It's a big job. I have a list that I go through....if I can find the list! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Ballentine Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I find the black vultures very interesting. They are full of personality. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Ewart Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) I tried the 2nd part of LAB 13-1 tonight. Finding the right font is key, I didnt get enough overlap on some letters to make it look as nice as Carole's example. I put the same texture on all of it because it looked like it was painted on a cement wall. It probably wont show in the smaller size. Font is called Listing Packs (weird, I know), probably from Creative Fabrica. My font program came with access to Google fonts so now they are all mixed in and I dont know who came from where. This is just me trying the exercise, I think I would do it differently next time adding some pattern to the letters. My head got muddled up when I was remembering which letter was behind of in front of the other. It was fun to do though, and any vector practice is good for me. Realized I didnt put shadows in, here it is with shadows. Edited February 1, 2023 by Susan Ewart for the shadows 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Thomas Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Susan you have done a super job! A great piece of work. After seeing this you should excel at creating word art. A lot of the same principals are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel daunted with word art. I love your creations and wonder how you just know where to put it all. I will surely give it a go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan this looks great and the stencil with words is next on my list to give it a try and thanks to you I know now that I have to be careful in selecting the font to use! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Corrie, it really is an enjoyable Lab, both parts, I cant see using both these techniques frequently. I think the font sizing issue was because I made my stencil on a full size canvas (3600x3600). I've always made elements on a smaller canvas size and then when it's a raster and I'm using them I found I couldnt size it as large as I needed for my layout as it would get blurry. So I figured I needed to make the elements bigger and size down if need be. Some of the fonts I picked didnt take well to the thicker outline and the problem with going on a large canvas to start with, is some fonts just dont go big enough for the circle (which I had to make smaller). It's a good to learn that there is such a thing as starting "too small" or "too big". I did size up the fonts when they were Vectors with the pick tool. But if I wanted to make them all the same size it would have added more work, at least it's do-able to do that beyound the size in the drop down menu.

Susan I don't know which version of PSP you are currently using but if it is 2021 or 2022 you can easely upsize with the AI mode as needed. I use it often and like the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it often and like the results I've never tried it. I have 2022 and 2023 (not loaded yet). Is it pretty straightforward to use. I should try it on some of the elements I've made that were too small and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
