Daniel Hess Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) I'll post my projects for the BSC here. Not sure how fast I'll work through them. Doing the Bootcamp as well currently. This is Project 1 from Module 1: Edited September 23 by Daniel Hess 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Now, that layout makes sense! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hess Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 (edited) Here is Project 2 from Module 2. I have elements from Janet Kemp, Marisa Lerin, Rachel Martin, and Sharon Dewi Stolp. I created the background using photo corners from Jessica Dunn. I only downloaded two of the four and went from there. I actually have several of those now in different colors. Rest is original photography or from the internet. The fonts I used to create two "alpha" words and 5 alpha letters were Loves Labour and Moria Citadel.

Daniel Hess Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 (edited) Module 3 Project 3. A couple of papers from cpjess, one modified from Flolinette-PBS and a rope from Marisa Lerin. The photo is two originals taken from aboard ship, blended together with another layer that was a gradient fill. Background, plaid paper and paint splash original. Elements from the internet. I keep forgetting to write down the font names when I have more than one and always "lose" the first one LOL. Needless to say it was as Carole calls them...a thick one and in this case a 3D font. The second is obviously Ariel. PS. I'm going to start renaming the font raster layers with the font name and size. Might keep me straight in the future that way. The OpenAsLayer does a good job with the papers and elements in that way. Edited September 26 by Daniel Hess 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 If you keep a vector copy of the text, you can always double-click on the text object and it will show the font name in the font dropdown list. That is one advantage of keeping one "original" vector copy of any text. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost always DO keep a vector copy of the texts so I'll have to go back and look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hess Posted September 27 Author Share Posted September 27 @Cassel I'm curious. I saw you mentioned to one of the other participants in the boot camp, something about using a rope and making sure it was on top. In Project 3, I did a cluster that is different from many, in that I had a couple of ropes, a string, and a group of shells. The shells seemed to me to "work" placing them on top over the center knot on one of the ropes which was on top of a rope that was coming apart. I really enjoyed finding that sweet spot with the layering where the string appeared to intertwine amidst the layers. Did I really achieve the effect I was hoping for placing the shells on top? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 It can work but it always depends on the element. In the other comment I made, it was a very thick rope and it was under "flat ribbons". That is the part that does not work. In your cluster, the rope is much thinner, and the elements on top of it are logical to see in that order. Does that make sense? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hess Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 (edited) Module 4 Project 4. Almost all supplies from Cassel's Fire and Ice with a couple of modifications. Used a green paper from Jessica Dunn. The doily was done by me following along one of the tutorials. I pretty much turned the layout 90 degrees since my photo was NOT in landscape format. PS...you have to look close to see Rambo. Edited September 28 by Daniel Hess 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hess Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 (edited) Bringing October in with a bang (although the birthday was yesterday; I didn't wrap it up until this morning). Module 5 Project 5. Shadows were challenging but I "think" I got most of them done OK. Several of the papers came from the cpjess-crafty eve mini kit. Background was cass-Random Brush Print-Summer. A couple of things off internet then highly modified by myself. Alpha is original.......base font is Incised 901 Nd BT @400 dpi. The ribbon was generated with the sinebot plugin, then turned into a pattern flooded into a narrow 3600 wide selection. Stitching was the original stitch tube from Corel but I've made 3 or 4 more in different colors. Edited October 1 by Daniel Hess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 You are having fun with different techniques in this layout! As for the shadows on the balloons, I would use a much larger blur and lower opacity. The offset is ok but since a balloon is so "thick", the shadow should not have clear edges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OpenAsLayer does a good job with the papers and elements in that way. I love your layouts Daniel. I also title the vector layer with the font name, it's faster than clicking on the object in the layer because my Text tool takes forever to activate. This way I just look at the layer. Good idea to put the font size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was way beyond me when i first did the Basic Scrap Course. they look great. the ones that are more on an angle, did you squish them or did you make them as ovals so they would look like that? Nice shadow on the balloons! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a couple or more as ellipses and the rest circles. At first I tried to dare to be different and was going to try to get the effect with triangles LOL but I couldn't get them to draw out the way i envisioned.

Daniel Hess Posted October 5 Author Share Posted October 5 Module 6 Project 6. I recycled the mask from Alinamaria DCS that I used on Day 1 Project 1 of the Masks Workshop to provide a glimpse of an Autumn Bokeh by Rosemary Causbrook at PSP Maniacs which is underneath the cluster. Ribbons, elements and clipart from CF, Marisa Lerin, and Rachel Martin. Papers from PBS-Escale amoureuse- Talie, cpjess, ps_jessica-dunn, and Cassel. Font for Alphas AR CENA 400 and for journaling and tag AR Essense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 If you use masks to create a sort of "inked" area, you have to be careful of some details. If you choose to place "inked" areas over several surfaces, it will normally be slightly uneven. Here is a tutorial that explains what it might look like: https://scrapbookcampus.com/2020/08/writing-on-different-surfaces/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just "turned" off the mask layer and resaved everything. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
