Pink title is Billgates with layer styles: Emboss; green title is Arial with 3D Effects: inner bevel; background paper I made from a tile I developed from a CF item that I worked with; the 2 flower items in the bottom corners are a watercolor from CF. The silhoutte I got from someplace several years ago and they are in a flower frame which was a Cassel freebie several years ago. The exploded hearts cutout was the requirement for Lab 12 Mod 9. I also did one of dolphins but haven't used it in a layout and I may practice this on some other cutouts later. Seashells didn't work so that is why the dolphins - i used layer styles on them - inner bevel. Your progress through the Labs is inspiring to see. Love these cutouts. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do them more haphazardly and when I need something for a particular layout I have in mind. Or one that takes my fancy😘 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Ballentine Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) Sadly, I haven't had a lot of PSP or pickleball time lately. Lots of work in the garden...and now, the yard needs attention. It will wait....tomorrow is pickleball, picnic and table games. Clusters and background paper by Jessica Dunn, Into The Woods, at Digital Scrapbooking. Template 242 by Lady 22.

Mary Solaas Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Just playing around with a mask I made with a lace edging made in a previous lab module. The butterfly I made with Cassel's enamel script. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Ewart Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Lab 7-3 Pattern Paper Metallic Element2 Fabric Tag As it turns out I used the same pattern as Carole used in the tutorial, only because my P52 challenge is playing cards so I ran with that theme. I loved the Pattern Paper and Metallic Element2 tutorials. The Fabric Tag was also good but I did encounter a problem I couldn't overcome. I couldn't get the eraser too to un-erase. I followed the video and used the written instructions, but it just would not erase and I'm not sure why. I really wanted the fringe part so I made the background of the fabric available for a pattern fill, and use the brush tool with the same settings and added the fringe on each side. I have them as separate layers (fringe below the fabric layer) so I could slightly change the saturation of the fringe and add a bit of noise and the tiniest of bevel. I merged the layers so i could add a drop shadow. I used the Custom Playing Card script and the Lifted photo script. Font from Creative Fabrica. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Ewart Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Lab 7-3 here is an alternate version. I took the gradient background and duplicated it then moved it to almost the top and added a blend mode. I like what it did to the metallic elements. they really look metallic now. I still wanted some color so I selected the "red" diamonds from the background layer and promoted them to a new layer and brought them above the blend mode layer and lowered the opacity of them (they were red already). I also brought another duplicate of the background gradient above the playing card group and made a mask of the gradient (New Mask Layer > Show All) and used black to block the layers below that have the blend mode so the middle of the cards would retain their original colorful-ness. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did a fantastic job but I like this version better. The cards are a bit darker and look more used than in the first version where they are rather white. The metallic elements look great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Solaas Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Lab 12 Mod 10 (October - must be Halloween) - requirements: multi star pattern (background paper), bat vector item to be exported as a preset shape - did both preset shape and a brush.

Mary Solaas Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Lab 12 Mod 11. Swirl - background paper; block letters - I had an alphabet from Jessica Dunn and I used that rather than building my own - I recolored it as it was originally in green letter and frame. The bow, flower, scatter were also from Jessica Dunn. the fringe blanket was made in a previous lab; the lace frame I developed myself building on a previous lab and making it into a tube 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassel Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 @Anja Pelzer Make sure you don't try to combine everything in one layout. The experiments (and even the tutorials) are not meant to be together. If it fits, that is ok but make sure you don't force anything while you go through all those modules! 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Ballentine Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I've been a bit distracted. Yesterday Annie of AnnieCDigital designs asked her FB group to help by creating layouts using a new, unpublished Alpha kit. I requested C and P. Here is one of the C layouts. Font for "Cats" is best paws font. Heart paper by MarisaL, Pets kit. Paw prints on the C by Janet Kempt, toolbox calendar, metal paw print doodle. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize that she would give a letter to more than one person. Of course, she needs multiple examples. I did have fun with them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristina Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) I finally finished the layout for the Lab11-Module 11. I struggled with the colors, not liking anything, until I declared it "done" and will move on to the next module. 🙂 Lab 11-11 Tutorials: Cross Pattern2 / Edge Cutout2 / Paper Clip3 Credits: Template - Scrapping with Liz - SwL_MBC_4_19Template Background Paper _ marisaL-DST13-09Sep Horse-paper143 Alpha - Delicious Scrap DS_SpringIsIn_Orange_Alpha Horse Graphic - DiHillerDesigns_June2024_Horse Staple - ShabbyPrincess_Promise_Staple Stitches - KAagard_ByAir_BorderStitches_Yellow Extra Tutorials: Tags & Journaling > Notebook page & Text & Tiles > Word Sticker Fonts: High Notes & KG Arrows I changed the background paper's color to green with Adjust>Hue and Saturation>Hue-Saturation-Lightness. Later, I changed it again with Blend Mode. Including the original paper by Marisa Lerin. Edited July 29 by Cristina 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In previous versions, you could erase with any tool (Eraser or DELETE) but now, since a few versions (not sure how many), it will only work if you erased with the Eraser tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's something I'm doing wrong. The sad thing is that it took me 2 days to realize I could just add the fringe with the brush tool. If I just clicked the eraser once it erases, if I right click it would un erase. But to do it in the already deleted selection, it just wouldnt do, either with the selection selected or deselected. I truly think it is a step I'm doing out of turn. Edited July 29 by Susan Ewart 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
