I am still into silhouettes this week, so we are going to do something a bit different this week with them. Last week I was really trying to make the photo collage inside a "shape" and it was not working for me. The only thing I wanted to add inside the shape was text. That is how this challenge was created.
I want to show you how to create some pretty simple to make typography and then I am going to show you one of the ways that I "hide" it and make it more personal.
It is ok, to make something for your eyes only and hide some of your feelings into the AJ.
I have made a pretty short video to explain how I do it. Note, that you can use an alpha (like I do in the video) or you can use the "shape" of an element or stamp/brush to apply the same technique.

My page:


Here is the video:

If you are only participating on the AJ challenges then these are due on May 9th before our chat!


Let me know if you need help or have questions.

I am still having a rough time with this one... I understand the concept, just can't get the mojo... will have something.. promise





I tried something different and used the font angelic war and had it vertical... then I duplicated the text and then flipped horizontally and push them together... the word is happy and is another way to "hide the text" as it looks like a shape :)


I hope this qualifies :)


Dalis your tut video was perfect but I really didn't have much to 'hide" so that is why I did it this way.

I know it's a stupid question, but can I do one page that will be both for the AJ 2 challenge and the Journaling challenge? It's just when I started making the brush like you did, HAPPINESS came to my mind!! It's not laziness, I promise!! LOL!! ;-) Thanks for the video Dalis, it's so awesome (as usual)!!! :-)
 
Christelle - to my knowledge you cannot combine the monthly challenges with any other challenge. The only time double dipping was allowed was once during the MOC in Jan, and then I think it was April when it was combined with the Love My self challenge with Lynne Marie. (If I am wrong, can someone please correct? Thanks!)
 
I had something else in mind but that didn't turn out so good. So after some changes in the text and shape this was the result:


Thanks Dalis for the great video, learned some new things!
