January 10: Shaped Alpha Designs

[jk703]

I was looking for a bit of inspiration and for better understanding this challenge, but recoloring wasn't allowed or is this okay… a bit confused…

Recoloring is ok, as long as you aren't recoloring the same alpha 3 times. You need to use three distinct alphas. Does that help?

 

[jk703]

ooops. I don't remember reading about not re-coloring. I may have to do it over?

You are ok, Sharon. See post above... #201

I don't feel my alpha section is as polished as other peoples but this took me two hours to do, so I'm satisfied to a point

 

[SharLamb]

You are ok, Sharon. See post above... #201

Whew. Although, I wish I had read this half an hour ago. I made a second version, but I won't go thru the gymnastics of replacement. Thank you! BOTH!

I took it easy and just used a rectangle for my shape (because I'm a couple days behind ... yikes!), but when I look at everyone else's examples, I think that maybe I'll try this with a book shape or something else in the future. My three alphas come from Storyteller Feb 2018, Game Night, and COLLAB Treasured: The Places.

Finally got this done... knew what I wanted to do, but just could not get it to work for me.. WAY too much time spent... anyway, my shape is an apple....!

I had to re-do this one since for some reason the file didn't save while I was working on it (bummer):

Thanks for the great challenge, so unique!
The star is my shape. Two of the alphas are from the Project Mouse tomorrow alphas, and the other is the Project Mouse Enamel Pin alpha.

What a great challenge.
I used the square background as my shape. I decided not to let the heartshape of the photo overlap any of the letters, because I didn't want to use a frame or stroke around the heart. This way the letters become the frame around the picture. Hopefully it is okay like this.

Shape (lower) began as a 12x12 square that became a rectangle and then a shape with free form upper edge. Reduced and repeated the alpha pattern for the upper shape.

Alphas are all from Lynn Grieveson:
Quiet Life, Crazy Life and Iced kits
