Thank you Cassel, I will have another go. A little behind at the moment as redecorating a room. But will get right on it

Thank you Corrie I will give that a go. Much appreciated.

OK, so I am having a go at Lesson 5 from a single to multiple masks and having a problem. The first time I tried it, the top mask layer was ok, but the bottom mask didn't show up. I have tried this now about 4 times, and in each case the black fill is just not happening. After I inverted the selection on the mask, chose black, and the fill tool it looks as though nothing is being filled. I have closed PSP2020 and opened it up again in case there was a glitch, but I am still not getting the desired effect. I have also tried this technique on one of the other templates for masks in this workshop, but still have the same outcome. Can you help please.

You have some lovely fonts.

Day 6 and I'm using PSP2020. Just playing with the photo to see what effect the masks have with it. Had to watch the video a few times to get the gist of this technique.

Loving the flip book, thank you for sharing.

@Cassel I see what you mean with the cover page, the photo mask still showing. I will make the adjustment. I am using PSP2020 at the moment, not dived into the Affinity pool just yet.

Loving the background and the font.

@DianeM Hi Diane, the two colour text was simply using the selection tool rectangle and covering the lower half of the text. Pick your colour with the dropper, and then with the fill brush (looks like a bucket of paint) colour in the lower half of tbe text. It was on Carole's day 3 tutorial.

Day 4 - the two page spread. I did have a problem with the second page when I put in some text. I did the selection to change the colour to no avail. Not sure why but it wanted to stay the same colour as the accent. I moved the accent layer under the text and the black text now stood out, but again on trying to use the selection and the brightness/contrast, no joy. So I will keep it as is. A trial run at this workshop. Pleased in the main with the results and can work with the templates on another theme. I have seen some lovely work on this project, you are all very talented.

I now have my page 3 with different coloured text. Having looked back at the other postings, I too felt this needed a frame and copied it from the front cover. Nearly there.

Cracking on now with page 2 of my Land of Lights theme. This is where the family met up outside the event

I am a bit behind with my posting for this workshop. Here is my Day 1 Cover Page. I have chosen the Land of Lights theme. I was a pretty awesome evening with the family seeing all these marvellous creations made out of paper and lights.

I'm in. Not sure what my theme will be. Been a while since I posted anything, or used PSP, so I will feel like a newbie. This year I feel it will be a more creative year using PSP and quite fancy trying out Affinity. So we shall see. Just looked at everyone's postings, I need to catch up with my first page. Looking good everyone.
