January 6: Shape cut out of element

January 6 shape cut out
Used a grad cap, fun challenge and something I wouldn’t usually think to do.
Used just jaimee 24/7 kit

 

Thanks for the new challenge... I love that MOC always pushes me out of my comfort zone!
(ETA: I just re-checked the instructions and wanted to make sure you knew that my multiple star cutouts are a single element from the Shimmer kit. Thanks!)

 

My shape is the sanskrit symbol for "om," a term we use in yoga. The cut-out is the big shape slightly closer to the top and left of the layout. The smaller om isn't the cut-out, it's a blend into background.

 

This was a fun challenge and easier than I expected I usually do not journal much on a page because I am not that skilled at doing it mostly and I often like the photos to "speak for themselves." I actually need to install some fronts into my PSE as I often have trouble finding ones I like to use. I am not totally pleased with the "blocky" looking font I used on this page but it allowed me to see what I was doing when I clipped my element to the journaling. If I become more skilled at journaling itself I will use this technique again. Thank you much for this challenge

 

Great challenge!

 

Sometimes simple is good, yeah? But there's simple and "wow this almost feels like cheating." Stg I spent longer fighting with myself over adding elements than I did planning or putting this together.

Cmd-D on the Mac (I think it's Ctrl-D on the PC).

 

Perfect chance for me to scrap a page about my dd's latest boy band crush

 

MOC - Day 6 - Shape Cut From Text by morgyns posted Jan 7, 2019 at 5:28 PM

This was a fun new technique to try. I typed out the words from the book we are reading in the photo as my background, then cut out 2 digger images from the text.

 

Command + D on a Mac (Ctrl + D on a PC??)

 

Text was cut with an evergreen tree shape.

 

Have been playing with this most of the day... was fun... Knew right away what I wanted to do.... but I can tweak like forever! Had not used this technique before.... easy and fun.... Thanks for sharing it with us....

 

The script is part of The Night Before Christmas. I cut out a tree using a wooden element in Season of Magic. The tree doesn't show up as much as I'd like, I guess a more dense text would show it better.
