I love this prize, I have been trying to make fireworks myself but they aren't so great!

I'm back for my second speed scrap, I am so in love with your pp Carol I can not wait to get my hands on it

Ready for the start in 10mins

Okay here is step 1:

1. select two or three photos

a. Look at your photos... select ONE color to highlight (perhaps the most vibrant, or the color of the most 'important' item in the photo). If you can, get the hexadecimal color code I'll refer to this as the 'primary' color.

PSE tip: to get the hexadecimal color code, use the eyedropper tool. See help here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photosho...23F39_WIN.html


b. Go to http://www.colorschemedesigner.com/ and select the "complementary" color palette (click on the "complement" link on the upper left)


To enter your hex code on colorschemedesigner, look for the "RGB" at the lower right of the wheel

I can't get into the chat room.

I've downloaded JavaScript & rebooted my computer and still no go.

2. Prepare your background canvas with three layers: all should be square. Layer 1 and 3 should be white (either paint or paper). Layer 2 should be your primary color - use paint or a paper that is VERY CLOSE to your primary color. Stitch your layers together. (straight stitch, zig zag, etc)

hmmm, I can't get the chat room to open...
anyone else having problems?

[Carolc]

I think a couple people are having trouble, but there are a lot of people in there now.

3.Select up to three 'grungy' elements from your files (paint splatters, ink spots, etc) and color them the complementary color. Stamp them on layer 3 (covering only about 1/3 of the space)

(layer 3 is your top layer so far)

I can't get in either and I have a question about stitching the layer together..

I'm a little late but I'm going to hop in. I'll try to join the chat.... never done that before.
