Marie-Claire

Happy Birthday ! 💐 and thank you !
 

Unfortunately there is not much to photograph, at least not outside because, just like Corrie in the Netherlands, we still have gray and rainy weather in Belgium.
Not nice to go outside at all.

 

Week 7
 

Week 6,
In Leuven, the city where I live, almost 2,000 Chinese live. To celebrate the Chinese New Year on February 10, the Chinese association 'Nihao Leuven' put together a colorful dragon of up to 10 meters long for a dragon parade in Leuven Center. He is joined by two lions.

Day 7  I made it!

This too me a long time to futz around with.  The keyboard keys was a separate photo that I merged in, the zigzag and lightning bolt are brushes (the zigzag might be from Corel?).  And guess what I found out....the diagrams from the pencilsketch2 are also brushes I have.  that way I could add them where I wanted.  I ran the script several times, changing the edit of the photo each time.  that gave me lots of hatch to choose from and I used a mask to get the best of the city buildings (computer circuit boards).  The "moon" is the disc from inside a hard drive as are the other elements, except the upper left "cloud".  the red flare is a brush too.  the font is Avalors (CF) and I duplicated it, turned the bottom version to a raster and blurred it.  the font itself had a humongous stroke, by accident of clumsy fingers, and left the tiniest space for fill so I went with it.  tonight I'll get started on the Build a Kit.  I see everyone has started off with a creative bang!

Thank you for the workshop Carole.  I pushed myself more in this one.  

Susan, you worked a lot in this workshop to edit all photos with the PencilSketch2 script and then edit further until you achieved the desired result. Very nice !

Me too.  And I've done the quiz before.  I always want to to call the cat Slippers.  If I ever get another cat I want to call it Slippers.

I also chose Slippers 😄

I did the little pop up Quiz  😄 my score is 9/10, I got the cat's name wrong 🤭

I would also be happy with a bruch workshop!

Really nice! Is that some sort of tracker that Poncho is wearing?

Thank you Ann, and no, it is not a tracker, what you probably see is the lock on his harness.

@Marie-ClaireKeep those brush strokes handy. You can use them as masks later too!

 

 

 Thanks for the tip Carole, I hadn't thought of that. 👍 

DAY 4
Cluster: Jessica Dunn (digitalscrapbook)
Fonts : Forte and Molly Script
The birds is a free photoshop bruche that I downloaded once, I think on Deviantart
For the paper, I applied 3 large strokes with green, light blue and darker blue on a blue background, using a watercolor brush.

Lesson 3

My first Great Grandchild. Unfortunately the only photos I have are sent through messenger. The quality pretty much stinks. 

I just copied Carole's setup.

The background was made according to lesson 3.

Congratulations Lynda ! so cute 🥰

DAY 3
Template: Lady22 (lady22.eklablog.com) - Butterfly: Janet Kemp (Digitalscrapbook) - Cluster: Jessica Dunn (Digitalscrapbook) - Wordart: Freebie (Creativefabrica)
The kaleidoscope patterns were always overpowering, so I solved it this way.

@Marie-ClaireIt seems like Poncho is always ready for a photo shoot, right?

 

You might think so Carole, but in reality he doesn't like being photographed. It's a matter of being quick, otherwise he'll turn his head away 😄

DAY 2
Flair button is from Jessica Dunn on Digitalscrapbook
For the two small photos I applied the cass-PencilSketch2 script, but stopped halfway through the script to get a different effect. (not good visible here)
The border above the plaid is a font from the Creation Cassel Store: cass-Edge2
Text font: Dialova

DAY 1
I made the background myself, a neutral color, with monochrome noise above it.
With the brush tool I placed two stains.
Edges : overlay by Marisa Lerin on Digitalscrapbook.
I made the beads with the script cass-Alpha Beads, with AR Destine font
The written font is Sun Island Regular

It is such a timesaver and it is probably the script I use the most!

I also use that script a lot !

Welcome back Sue!  that was a long time, we all missed you ! 

Week 4.
I've started puzzling again. A little bit every day, sometimes I skip a day.  The hardest part is now coming.

 

I'm in 🙂
