I really enjoyed this, some people did such a fantastic job.

It's hard to follow the lesson when you have to keep stopping to assist a needy husband.? I finally finished. I'm not happy with the leaf. I tried to make a texture from a picture of one of my leaves. I hope you will cover how to make the lines on a leaf and flower. As you can see, my lines were too straight. The starfish texture was generated in Adobe Express. The sunglasses were originally black, but when I created them from my preset shapes, I had the starfish texture and color in my material palette and decided that I liked it. The stroke in the label was made in Procreate.

Here is my arrow also.

I am totally new, 10 days into the 30-day trial. I ran into some issues accessing the classes, but I have now had success, and what a great teacher Cassel is! I finished Monday's lesson and created my arrow and heart. Tomorrow I will try to catch up. I know my shapes are pretty basic, but I am happy that I am learning how to use the program.

This is my Lesson 2 homework - I can almost taste the old fashioned glue on the back of these.

Here we go my lesso 1 heart and arrow

Day 2, nothing fancy, just shapes.

I do hope I can retain this information! It's great fun to see the variations and get more ideas from each other. Wonderful work people! Here are my samples for Day 2

And finally for today my leaf

Here we go with my shapes

Here is my Lesson #2 Submission. So many great ideas from everybody. This course is really a great learning tool!

Here is my lesson 2 homework. Good features to learn.

Hi good stuff. Mine got a little wonkie also and i noticed for some reason that the vector changed to open ...so i clicked the close vector button and it went away.

Wow! It is wonderful seeing so many new faces and sooo many completed lessons. I have been able to pop in less frequently and I am blown away by how many pages are filled. Great work, Everyone! My Day One: I need to do this many times so I can remember all the steps!

My lesson 2 submissions. I feel so inadequate when I see so many better examples.

I'm so exhausted after doing these. I had to keep deleting, redoing, and re-saving my image files and shape files. I think I understand the process now; we'll see when I do Day 3. LOL I have a couple of labels for you, a label that ended up being a hat (?), and a pair of lips. I'm going to get some sleep now.

My Lesson 2. Nothing great but good practice for me. Had a few issues (completely me) but got there in the end.

This is not the most accurate image of a curling rock but as a lesson in exporting vector shapes it does the trick. I love all the submissions. They qualify as lesson 2a because I learn as well from the great images that are sent in. Bonus!!!

After working on this for a long time, I succeeded, and also to save them as basic shapes in 1 file, but I still struggle a lot with those nodes. I'll have to practice a lot!

My first vector. sorry for the delay pc issues.

I made my shapes in purple so they stand out in the shapes folder when I export them and then made them a bit more fancy. Carole I have a question: In this lesson you told us how to export those shapes and I did as in the lesson, so I have label01and label02 who I have given the name ck-label01 and ck-label02 in the Vector Property box. The labels 03,04 and 05 where exported together with the name ck-labels for the Vector Property box. (ck is my prefix) Is there a possibility to bring the label 01 and 02 in the same Vector Property called labels. Or is it impossible to change that once they are exported?

Sorry I'm out of the gate late once again. I've done lesson 1 and have these results.

Day 2 of the vector workshop. I used all of the techniques demonstrated in the 2 videos, and a few more, which I'm sure will be demonstrated throughout the week. For those that may be interested, I will often see a label or a tag that I like, invariably, they are either PNG or JPeg. I will take a screenshot, creating my own vector version.

Hello everyone! Already 10 pages on the third day on vector! wowww I couldn't make it before, I was out and about and couldn't get my work done on the right day because my Wi-Fi connection at the cottage is so bad. I'm in town with a good connection and will stay there until the end. Having already had labyrinthitis, I get dizzy when I'm at the computer. I'll try to read everything that was said before my message when I'm feeling better. In the meantime, here's my Day 1 - I hope to catch up soon. Thanks Carole for this workshop, I really need it as you can see from my work today. My lines aren't straight :-(

Excellent Lesson 2 Carole, thoroughly enjoyed it ? There is some wonderful work on these pages. I have done the very basics in doing my shapes, but I will be practising more and more, especially with node placement and the clicking on them to get the arms of the node types. I have read through many of the posts, and thank you to the participants who suggested the grids etc, made it a lot easier to deal with the symmetry of the shapes. And when using a few shapes, centring each one greatly helps. I love that you can export many images into one file and then see them come up individually in the preset shape menu. Anyways, here are my first attempts at the shapes, but there will be a lot of fun to be had with getting a bit creative as I practice more.

I absolutely have to do this tut again CASSEL, I break my brain here. All of a sudden I could type words. ???

another great lesson, my leaves

Another learning experience ..... thanks

Day 2 Project 2 I also deleted a lot and started over a lot. It's a lot to remember!

Day 2 Project 2

OK, so I'm a little late with Day 1 Heart and Arrow, but here they are.

I make a fair number of cards and I use shaped layers for the cover sentiment so I decided to make shapes that I will use there. I also learned how to center and align shapes.

My result for 3rd lesson. I must admit, I do like working with vector nodes. TFL. Will only let me post Jpgs, is that the norm? Image filled with light and dark shading added.

wow this workshop is great, Here is my lesson 2, I made some different shapes and exportet

Once again, learned lots. I used Cass-Edge Magic script to darken the outside of the leaves. I drew with the pen tool lines to represent the veins of a leaf and then added some Gaussian blur.

Lesson 3 - my first attempt, but will give this another go as well as the other leaves. Great to put the 'lines' option to good use. Have tried to use it before but ended up with a colourful mess ? ?

I thought the PhotoBlocks script would go well with the theme; it's the top layer. The original artwork (before all the blocks) is by Michael Lang. I added some Gaussian Blur to the original layer, lowered the opacity a lot, and put a light blue layer under it. The font is Microsoft Tai Le.

LAB 6 MODULE 6 LESSON -2 -DINGBAT RIBBON

I am still working on Lab 6 Module 6 as I feel I will become more proficient using this program by doing so. I truly enjoyed working on DT's Flower Fonts Volumes 1 and 2. I will post the Lessons first and then the experiments.

Lesson 2 results. Added a tad of shading and a texture.

Fun to do

Here is Lesson 3. As I started late, only tomorrow I will do the extra practice. The first time I did contour was long ago, probably a Masterclass, not sure... So this was a good exercise... Just need time and patience with all the nodes to edit, but the result is rewarding...Also, we can do so many things with technique... I made one preset and added some lines to it for practice.

LAB 6 MODULE 6 EXPERIMENT 5 - FUN FONT FIND - DT'S FLOWER VOL 1 AND VOL 2

LAB 6 MODULE 6 EXPERIMENT 01 -TITLE WORK- ANIMAL PRINT This little critter is raising havoc in the lake behind our home. I had never heard of it until the bank of the lake just collapsed. My first attempt at using 2 pages with no idea at what i was doing. I am very surprised it looks like a two page informative about the world's most harmful, invasive, species.

LAB 6 MODULE 6 LESSON -3 MULTICOLORED DEIGN RIBBON

Nicely done, I love the fill you used, with matching borders

My arrow.

Day 1 shapes--

Image3 - This one worked and I was able to draw the preshape and change its colour. Image2 - After drawing the objects how best is it to move to reposition them? I used the pic tool. With my star shape I wanted to remove 2 of the points that extended past the green rectangle. I made selections of the areas to delete but it deleted the whole star layer! StarImage - The image saved as a preset and looked the same as my original (centre of picture) in the Pre-sets list but when I drew the presets the rounded nodes of the central star did not appear rounded. If I changed the colours in my materials palette and drew the preset I got the effects that you see here. And something I discovered when drawing the preset, don't have the original vector layer active or it draws into that layer. Select the raster layer first then draw and a new vector layer is created.
