Silk's challenge 4 Nov.23

[silk]

I am running behind this time so I'll keep it simple. Make a Christmas set snag or WWO.
Use any tubes, photos you like or scrapkit elements. I look forward to your sets.
Have fun.
Animate and credit.Tell us what you did.
I am having trouble with AS Optomizing so I am not posting mine yet until I can see if I can fix it.

[silk]

Well, here is mine after working on it all day. I couldn't fix the optimizing problem.
I used a number of filters for the background and two masks. Scrap elements, noise, constellation, sparkles. It's a snag.

[Huronna]

I like those masks you used,
At first I thought I was looking at a Grassy tag, sparkle away!
Are you sure that you are having problems with your eyes, you sure selected al those ribbons for the noise perfectly.
The optimization looks fine, maybe you were having trouble because it was in shock with all the sparkles being yours ?
Beautiful set and I sure did snag it  , thank you

[silk]

Thanks Huronna . More sparkles than I usually do but it's Xmas!
After optimizing ,the inner frame I'd done turned red so I had to go back to psp and make another frame after trying forever to get the one I'd made work. That meant I had to do the animation again.

[Flagryl]

Your optimization looks great to me as well. Sometimes too much sparkly can cause jazzies but looks like you have the right amount and the correct optimization settings...lovely tag!

I used a mask for my background. Here's a holiday snag set:

[silk]

Lovely Flagryl. That little critter is adorable. I like the little bit of snow you have.Thank you for doing the challenge and the snag. Tucked away.
My optimize on any single frame line turns a different colour. It wasn't the sparkles since it's happens on a simple tag.

[Huronna]

woo hoo another great snag set.
I probably will play after the weekend

[Mary]

Beautiful!!

[Rita]

Of course the little reindeer is made by me.

The text has three layers, I Made the first text vector with outline only (made copies)

Put a line across it merged ut up selected inside the top half expanded by one

filled with red, the bottom half I filled with green on new layers then used glass on them.

Glass will shrink it a little or distort it a bit so the bottom layer is gold to take up the vacant bits

That glass left. All that was left is to make another line across for the Blink line and three layers of

Blink lines, everyone like the October Tag so when this came to mind I did it as a experiment that worked out *LOL*

It is a snag. Thanks for all the snags love them.

[arbee]

[Huronna]

Love those blinkie lines Rita, not on everything but just a touch here and there like you make them
Arbee, your late this time, you been sleeping LOL
Merry Christmas to your both

[silk]

Rita your tag is so cute and the animation as amazing as always...
Thank you for telling us how you made it and for doing the challenge .
Arbee, your tag is a real Xmassy one. I love the frame of baubles, and your animations. Thanks for doing the challenge.

[deezaster]

Everything is so beautiful, you ladies are so clever and talented, I am in awe of all the sparkle glitter shiny bits and holiday love… Amazing work y’all

[Flagryl]

Oh my Rita, your blinkie line is darling. And Arbee, love those xmas ornaments flashing on and off.

[Huronna]

Believe it or not I actually used a scrap kit, permission and crediting are on her site, She is FTU

Just added the flame, the twinkle and a little bit of noise. Thought it was pretty enough without anything more,
Its a snag

[silk]

It's beautiful Huronna and snagged with thanks. Thanks also for doing the challenge.

[Smilyn]

Silk, my friend, I am afraid I can't tell you exactly how I did this. I made a layered background with plugins and masks and kaleidoscope and then covered most of it up, lol. I mostly fell back on some old skills and an old kit, and some old difficulties; I reinvented the wheel, crashed my PC, spent about 8 hours replacing something I hadn't saved, etc etc etc (Yul Brynner style...) But I had fun and here is a little gift for you. Happy Holidays my dear!

[silk]

Milyn what a lovely gift. Thank you very much. You haven't lost your skills. I will enjoy sending this to friends and wearing it here.
Thank you for doing my challenge And for telling us some of the steps you took to make it.

[Huronna]

for some reason I can't see you sig tag, MIlyn, just a little box
Will have to come back later and maybe it will reappear

[Smilyn]

I don't know Huronna... I can see it... Here it is again:

[Huronna]

Must have been my connection or something because now I can see it.
That's a great rotation you did, never losing clarity, well done!
I like it being placed in the "O" also.
Welcome back, even though you pulled your hair out "yul"

[Grassy]

Ooooooooooo look at all the beautiful work here!
Thanks for all the snags too!
