Sharla Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Enjoyed creating a mask in this tutorial - for me it felt easier creating one than adapting one. I used one of the water colour brushes suggested and a kit from digital scrapbook. The photo is one of mine taken on a local walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie-Claire Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (#72427) what is the name of your dog again? (#72429) I think I recognize those paw prints. Are they one of the freebies from the blog? (#72453) That background is surprisingly subtle and lets the edges of the mask show very well. Carole, the name of my dog is 'Poncho' Indeed, the paw prints come from your blog For that background, I selected a square from the white wall at the top of the windmill with some of the shadows added. With brightness and contrast I adjusted the entire background so that it wasn't too dazzling or too dark I should add some more explanation, but it's often late when I upload my work, and then I've messed around so much to get the desired result, that I can't quite remember what I've done ?

Marie-Claire Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Lynda #72117 Marie-Claire, Love what you did with this lesson. Are these your photos, they are lovely. Lynda, I notice I haven't seen your message. Thank you, and to answer, yes so far I still use my own photos. But they will eventually run out. We haven't been on vacation much. The pictures I take now are only on our walks with the dog. So always the same environment, and our dog is very much my model. Unfortunately, there is not much diversity.

Sherie Dracup Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Hi, With the picture I chose, I did not have any brushes that kind of matched, so I opened a blank canvas, did the mask as per the video only in black, then I found a wine bottle and glass in Berna's Playground, Saying Goodbye Freebie. I used the hue and saturation to make the elements black, then merged with the mask. I then did the instructions from Lesson 1 to turn it into an actual mask, then added my photo. The frame and grape element are from a free mini I downloaded from Digicats called Rosario's Pizzeria. The wordart was from The free Ultimate Quotes Bundle 3, which I am sure I downloaded from Creative Fabrica. I guess I could have made brushes from the elements, which I did after with the wine glass, and it was easy to do. After making it I realized I probably should have used the hue and saturation to darken it, as I would have to darken it afterwords, unless I wanted it to be faded as it shows in the pic.

Cassel Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Sherie, (#72533) if you wanted, you could create a brush tip from the wine glass and then use it around your mask. It would be quite unique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lois Duckworth Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 CAROLE Re: Lois, (#72469) what background did you use for that page? It matches perfectly with your image. The background was made using a colour from the image and adding a texture (not sure where I got it from) to it with a soft blend. I then added a page frame overlay that I obtained from Digital Scrapbook using a burn blend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynda DiGregor Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Marie Claire, I totally understand. We have been house bound since last March and it gets tiresome taking the same photos day after day and there are no kids running around now. We did get some beautiful ice crystals on the trees the other day. Looked like jewels. Fortunately, I have a lot of pictures from previous times. Your dog is beautiful. Reminds me of my grandparents collies. Keep up the good work. Lynda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynda DiGregor Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Everyone is doing such a great job of sharing. We are going around the world, seeing beautiful children and pets, great homelands and travels. With Carole as our host, we are learning to make all those things standout with her great PSP lessons. Keep up the good work. Thanks to all, Lynda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynda DiGregor Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 OK, I'm ready with lesson 5. I made a two page scrap with several photos of our most recent RV travel. I used the colors in the balloons and sky to make the plaid and lesson 5 for the masking technique. I arranged the photos and merged visible to a new layer then made the mask on all the photos at the same time. All the photos, except the sunset were taken from the truck (tow vehicle). That was fun!

Theresa Di Cesare Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Hello Everyone, Just had a look at your Mask projects they are fabulous. I signed up for the Quick Pages and the Mask Workshop but time hasn't allowed me to get right into it, but I have just started the first mask project. Hopefully I can finish it this evening and post it on the forum. I can't believe how far behind I am. There really are some lovely creative pages on the forum.

Lynda DiGregor Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Carole, In answer to your question "Did you use the kaleidoscope tool to create the large background pattern?" Yes I did. It was actually a mistake. It took me a bit to figure out the smaller kaleidoscope backgrounds. BTW Great respect here, I don't know how you look at everyone's creations and comment on each one personally. It is a great talent. Thanks Lynda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Cope Carriere Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Masks Workshop Day 4. I like creating Masks and paper with brushes. I pulled my colors from the photos themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Thomas Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Day 5. This winter has been a winter for owls. I have never seen so many. This one caught a vole to dine on. I used a watercolour splatter brush. The word art took me a little longer to do than the rest of the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Magerka Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I have tried to work on Mask assignment #2. It has been a distracting week for me with deadlines all around for other work I do, and a vet emergency (that worked out, thank goodness). I continue to have so much trouble with all the steps to convert to a mask. I have spent too much time on it already, and just gave up on the plaid part. Wouldn't work for me at all! This is as far as I got, and it's a mess, but I know folks here are kind. I will continue to practise!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Seeber Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Here's my Masks-Day5 - Logan-Yum! Followed Carole's video pretty closely; used a gradient for the background and applied a leather texture. This was the day of great-grand Logan's first birthday, in the morning, during breakfast at home. The title font is Mama and the smaller one for "yum!" is called Milkimo Cheesecake. I created a square frame with rounded corners and filled it with gray and applied a bevel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie Collier Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Lesson 5: never give up! At first I did everything wrong with this one and had to solve endless mysteries with my layers and tools. It's so easy to get lost. This is where I ended up - I forgot to add a final frame of some kind and decided not to use any drop shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
