When you know where to look for something you want to do, it makes it so much easier and you will probably use it often! Maybe in the end you know how to do it by heart 😉

"Slip it in" is another of the first things I learnt when I joined the Campus. The tutorial is an older one, but can be found in the creative scrap. I use this technique  often.

I am really happy to read that the book, in itself, was useful even for someone who has access to the DIAMOND membership.

Believe it or not, I always doubt myself, wondering if what I do is useful. You made my day!

You have the best instincts, dont doubt yourself.  I'm always wondering how the heck you do what you do, it's awe inspiring.  I've learned a lot of new techniques from the book, that I never would have known about and knowing exactly where to find the tutorial is such a time (and stress) saver.

It's always so cool when you do it and realize just how real it looks.  I love that.

Week 52 

Background started out with a gradient, then I think I did the blinds, added noise, then line halftone horizontally.  I tried applying the blinds to the Vectors but it made it harder to read.  Played around with the opacity in the blinds settings and blend modes(outside the blinds setting), but still it seemed a bit harder to read, so I've left it the original red which seemed to fit the background well and did nothing to it in the end.  I used the Lifted Photo Script on the playing card.  

Two more to go and my deck is complete. What a ride it's been.  I've learned a lot and tried things I never would dreamed of.  What a pleasure to see into everyone's lives and enjoy their photography (and other photographers that were used - what a delight to see).  I find it amazing when I look in my "finished" folder and scroll through the weeks.  We've made quite a body of work.  The cool thing is we can hide the Vector layer and make them any kind of card we want.
