Thank you to all who come to the 3:00 PM EDT Slow Scrap chat and to everyone who participates in the Slow Scrap!!

Today's Slow Scrap you will have until 4PM EDT Thursday 7/15 to complete your page. All those that complete their page according to the instructions will recieve a prize.

Instructions:
This week 2 of Summer School Art classes focus’ on Masking, Blending and Seamless Blending. Our page for the Slow Scrap can use any or none of those methods however there are stipulations. (Tutorials )

1-Create an Art Journal page
2-Must be photoless
3-Must contain a Quote
4-You CANNOT use any paint whatsover.

You can use any papers you wish, but you cannot add any paint. You can blend papers, you can mask, you can use brushes but they cannot be used as paint. (example you can use brushes to mask out/erase areas of your papers / elements for blending).

Use as much ephemera as you wish
Your quote can be in a font or alpha or a mixed format.

*please indicate the papers you are using so I can just verify that no paint was added for the slow scrap *

Here is my page:

Thank you for the chat and scrap!

I blended two papers together for my BG, Circus Papers 1 and Circus Papers 9 everything else is elements from the bundle

 

[Janisn]

I used Rebecca's Knox paper. Woman is from Graphics Fairy.

Here's mine!

Question: The flower's center was a dark green. Is there any way to make it white and still keep the texture? Thanks in advance! I settled with the gray but it's fuzzy and I don't love it but I'm not sure what to do. Maybe this would be a good technique for @FarrahJobling to cover in LEAP if I'm not the only one who doesn't know how to do this?

What program and method did you use to recolor?

What program and method did you use to recolor?

I use Gimp. At first I created a duplicate layer and filled it with a color but they were all too dark. To get this gray I adjusted the brightness/contrast.

hmmm.... I'm not sure how to do it in gimp.

I found this tutorial with a quick google search but that won't help you with gimp.

PSE doesn't have the black and white adjustment layer option like photoshop does and I don't remember how to do it in PSE, but know it's possible, it's just not as easy.

Thank you! I’ll check it out. I can usually figure out Photoshop tutorials in Gimp.

[jang]

Thanks for the chat and scrap.. I blended a paper from Lynn Grieveson and Rachel Jeffries.

 

[mcurtt]

Sorry I missed the chat. DH took me out to run some errands (lunch included) and by the time we got back home, the chat was over.

I did not do any paper blending. However I blended my quote into the page to make it something other than stark white. I used: M3 Main Kit May 2021. Paper is lbw_M3_May21_pp02

 

[StefanieS]

The background paper is from Rachel and has some paint on it.
My butterfly stamps are elements and not used as paint.

 

[Electra]

I hope this is what you are describing. I use a Distressed paper by Any Wolf, and papers from NBK Design's Art Cruches 8, 9. & 10 The brushes I used were free ones from Brusheezy, except for a couple of NBK Designs.[URL=https://the-lilypad.com/forum/galleries/she.479310/][/URL]

I can show you that re the question. I would first convert to B/W then use a hue adjustment and then a level adjustment to brighten. Here is the screen shots in PS & PSE. Hope it helps Monica!

I posted above for PS & PSE.. didn't realize Monica was using Gimp and I am clueless unless there is a level adjust in Gimp.

Monica I posted to you 2 screen shots of PS & PSE for changing to white.. don't know if GIMP has a level adjustment but after a conversion to black and white I would use a level adjustment to brighten to white.

@FarrahJobling is there something you would do differently?

The b/w adjustment layer in PSE is under Enhance and then you go to Convert to Black & white It took me a little bit to find it too Kayla Thanks for stepping in to help while I was off line Hugs!
