    May Theme Challenge - RAIN

    in Challenges

    Posted

    This is a page I made for the theme.  I used a scrap kit from Scrap and Tubes titled Willow for the background papers and elements.  The picture is the delightful artwork of Malgorzata Gruszka and is free to download from ArtStation which is a site similar to DeviantArt.  Some great artwork on there if you just type rain or anything else into the search bar.  The font I used for the title is Teardrop and it kind of gave an oriental feel to the piece.  I used an effect from the plugin Graphics Plus called Cross Shadow on the title font and it is an effect I have always loved but had forgotten about somehow ... why do we do that, lol!  Layout is my own.  Thanks for takin a peek!

    Lynda, I love your out of bounds pics, all are beautifully executed. While I love the cleanness of Cassel's technique there are some advantages to the other. I guess it all depends on what you are wanting to achieve.

    I have Windows10, PSP2020 and PicToPainting plugin. I had a play around with it this morning and once I had remembered how to work it the results were fine. For me, it picks up the active picture which is then displayed on the left of the PtoP screen. I then select which option I would like to preview from the bottom menu and then click on preview. If I like what I am seeing then I click send and close and it changes the active picture in PSP to my selection if I don't like it then while I am in PtoP I hit the reset button and make another selection. I noted that the plugin prefers to be reset during play otherwise it seems to fail! Is this how you are working with your plugin? Just lately my pc has been doing a lot of strange things and I am sure it has a lot to do with Windows 10 updates! Stay safe and well my friend. <3

    You are most welcome dear Corrie and I am sure there will be more comments forthcoming, ;D I am safe and sound thank you and I hope it is likewise for you and yours. In a way Australia does seem to be the lucky country and most of the deaths here have been the very elderly, especially those in Nursing Homes. I hope that does not seem callous but even by nature that is the way of things. Stay safe and well my friend. <3

    P.S. I love your 4 page, it is delightful, well done!

    Hello Scrapbook Campers.  I have been playing around with different aspects of PSP and decided to have another go at Cassel's text confetti script and, lo and behold, it worked.  I have noticed with PSP2020 that it will do that on occasion ... fail one day at a particular task and come good after a night's rest ... like all of us I suppose, :)  Anyway ... I tried it out using the papers from Bonfire Memories a Pixel Scrapper kit and this is the result.  The bottom result was achieved by using the picture tube  on a full size page and then scaling the page down after merging.  The result on the top was achieved by scaling down the page first then adding the text confetti and merging.  The font used is Teardrop.  This is a terrific script which gives lovely results and is extremely versatile ... when ... PSP decides to let it work properly that is!  ;D

    Cassel, thank you for these lessons they were delightful. I really enjoyed having to produce something everyday ... perhaps indicative of our current times but I am a recluse anyway so it really does not impact on me. I think the challenge keeps the brain active and for that I am grateful. I do hope you are feeling much better and I look forward to any future challenges you may have for us. Stay safe and well my friend. <3

    Day 7.  I used Cassel's layout template and modified it just a little.  The papers are mine, the cluster is one I created a long time ago.  The font used for the title is Thickhead and I used the Colato font for the word stickers.  I wanted to add a text confetti but the script kept creating huge words that overlapped and some were also cut off so I had to put paid to that idea!  I created the stars instead from Cassel's script.  Shabby chic is usually in pastels but the windows were shabby so I went with it cos it is my kinda shabby chic, lol!  The photo is from Unsplash and was taken by Matt Artz.  Thanks for takin a peek!

    Day 6.  I found this lovely colourful photo on Unsplash and it was taken by Tom Podmore.  The colours are amazing so I decided to go with the brights ... not my usual style but inspired by the delightful work coming through.  Kit used is Delish by Gina Jones from Pixel Scrappers and layout courtesy of Cassel's template.  Definitely loving these simple and effective layout templates Cassel, thank you!  The font I used is Hobo and the rope is a tube by Cassel.  Thanks for takin a peek!
