Blending


I learned about blending today! Very interesting stuff! I didn't realize I could take a layer and blend it with another to create a different look. I like this!

The flowered pattern in the center was the original. I added a solid pink layer and came up with all the other samples, depending on how I blended it, and whether the pink was on the bottom or top layer.

Fascinating! This will be very helpful in creating papers, or if I have a paper I want to use, but it doesn't quite match the rest of my goodies. Neat!

Preset Shape from a Dingbat Tutorial

Image
I enjoyed learning this. I was to find a dingbat font, and use one of the dingbats to create a preset shape. The dingbat challenge is to help us figure out how to make scrapbook kits, papers, elements, etc. I’m not sure yet how I’ll use it, but it’s good to know anyway. At least now I know there are preset shapes in there, and how to find them. You can find dingbat fonts (free!) that will provide you with most any shape you can imagine. So my first step was to go seeking dingbats. I found lots of them. One that I wanted to try had several different bunnies on it. (I like bunnies a lot, and I collect bunnies.) Then I followed the tutorial to create a preset shape. You discovered in my last two posts that I could use a preset shape to cut out a photo, so I tried the process again. Practice makes perfect, right? There wasn't any purpose to using a bunny font, but hey, I like bunnies so what the heck. It's just for learning purposes. Yes, I entered it as a challenge su

Uber Newbie

I'm trying out a new hobby. I'm playing around with photo editing software, to learn how to create siggys. I have been dying to learn this, and now I've joined some tutorial groups in hopes of figuring this stuff out. My first tutorial was to learn how to make a very basic siggy. It was fun to play with. Now, I was just playing with the stuff built into the program - nothing fancy. But it was fun! And I came up with something that I didn't think was hideous. The software is already getting a little less scary. Maybe I'll be able to get this figured out one of these days. But for now, baby steps.
