DIAMOND Scrap Challenge - April 2019

[Cheryle Becker]

Thanks Carol for doing these challenges, I learn so much and they're fun.  I love Maria's Abstract.  Just shows you the ideas are endless.  Looking forward to tomorrow's challenge.  Cheers

[Sharon Wilke]

I think I've got the hang of it now! I'm looking forward to learning more tomorrow.

Hi Everyone.  This is my tile, paper and photos I shall be using so far.  This has been fun and I am really enjoying all the different creations.  Well done Scrappers!

[Michele]

Wow, ladies. You all have such creative patterns. I'm going to try one now.

I spent way too much time on this, but I'm happy with the results. I'm going to have to keep future days much simpler.

I finished late last night. I was having difficulty getting the patterns pallet to open. Somehow I managed to wipe out the settings in my program as it froze and had to reset PSP from scratch. It is up and working now. Is there a short cut key to access the patters pallet? I click on the right box in the materials pallet but it takes quite a few tries to get it to open.

Day 1 - Went with a dotted line (was inspired by Sharon Murray's) and drew 2 different lines (each on a separate vector layer), then duplicated each, mirrored and placed them together like I wanted.  I wanted a subtle result, so I didn't increase the width, and I changed the pattern color to white via the Adjust - Brightness and Contrast (it may be difficult to see in this small upload, but it looks fine in the large image).

I made paper to look something like grass as I had this photo in mind.

[Lynda DiGregor]

Everyone did such a great job with this. I am blown away with the creativity. I had a lot of fun with this lesson and made several different patterns. Some pretty cool , some not so hot. I have certainly been given lots of new ideas here. Thanks!

[Sue Thomas]

I enjoyed this lesson, and  made several  background patterns for different photos.  The wood frame tutorial was excellent, and I was impressed with my result.   So many different interpretations  of the tutorials, great work by all!

Day 2 - For the frame, I used a wood I already had.   Not rustic, but the exercise gave me the information I need to be able to do this with any wood.  As others have mentioned, it's great seeing all the different patterns and ideas that everyone is coming up with!

[Wanda (Sue) McGuire]

Hello All.  I see some great designs.  I am having a toothache so have not been much in the mood but I do want to try to finish all the days.  I am not real pleased with my paper design but I did try.  2019 psp is frustrating and slow.  Never have had a problem in the past and I am working on a computer with more ram and faster processor than I have ever used.  I am about ready to go back to 2018.

 

This is my day 1 and 2

Day 2

 

Here is the wood frame I created for my beach theme page

[Sharon Cope Carriere]

I did a wood frame but then decided to give it a white wash to match my lighter colors.

My Day 2, same image and background but with wooden frame. A trick I have learnt is when you have made a selection, copied and pasted as a new image, if you right click on the source image you are using you can drag the already selected rectangle/square to a new location, copy and paste as a new layer to get a different bit. Saves having to work sizes out as all pieces will all be the same size.  Love making elements. TFL

What resolution do you prefer when working toward printing as a final result?

[Cassel]

Lynn, typically, for printing purposes, set the resolution to 300 ppi and it would be ok.

[Sharon Wilke]

Everyone's designs look fantastic! I am so glad we had this challenge. I've definitely picked up lots of useful information. The frame I made looks really rustic but I think it will work great for my country style background. I am so ready for the blooming flowers!

[Sharon Murray]

Wow, so many wonderful patterns!

 

Sheila, that is a very good tip, thank you for it.

 

I remember doing this frame lesson before and I just love it!

 

[Marie McGrath]

Am amazed at all the different contributions from people - congratulation all.

 

After news today about Notre Dame decided to change completely to make it my subject so am behind.

 

Have done the frame but struggling to do new pattern - want to do tear drops using pen tool but it is tricky.

 

Cassell you were right with previous one had tried various sizes but forgot to make seamless.  It is 5 years since have done pattern etc but used to love it so that is why am trying now.    It know the paper is no good but just wanted to show am trying to do lessons.   Thanks

[Annie Tobin]

Hello Scrapbook Campers.  Loving all the results I am seeing, well done.  This is my project to date.  Thanks for takin a peek.

[Marlene Lingham]

Wow what a lot of lovely pages, so many different patterns that can be made from just a few lines. Marie, your photo of Notre Dame is heartstopping, so much history being destroyed in a matter of hours. Let's hope some of the building can be salvaged.

 

I tried a few different things, including using bezier curves instead of straight lines, and am happy with the end result. I chose a photo of the Banjo Paterson statue outside the Waltzing Matilda Centre in Winton, QLD, which has just re-opened after being burnt down. I'm hoping to be able to use other references to the song in coming days.

 

The frame was made from a wood texture I had and I then adjusted the brightness to suit the photo and background. I have been a Diamond Member since before it even existed (!) but have not done much lately with the tutorials, this challenge is making me revisit all them.

[Jean Naumann]

Well I've had a go.  So much to learn but it is fun.
