chattycat89 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hi, I hope I'm using this right, but my sister is looking for a "string of twinkly lights" effect that she can use on my niece's engagement announcement and I could've sworn I've seen such a thing in the boutique at some point but for the life of me can't find anything like it now. She's looking to make it look like there were strings of twinkly lights above them in the pictures she took out in the woods. Thanks for any suggestions!

Brandy M Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Cathy I wonder if you are remembering a layout from Outdoor Dad. There are little bubs on a string in that kit. You can look here: http://store.scrapgirls.com/outdoor-dad-collection-biggie-p31047.php and see if that helps. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chattycat89 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks & I will show her those but what she has shown me is more of a "starburst" type light on a string...more of a "fairy dust" type look than a literal light bulb. I hope that makes sense. Seems like I remember seeing either an action or style or something that would give that effect, but it's all still so new to me that my brain is probably just jumbled. The images she sent me were after she Google-Imaged "Save the date postcard romantic tree lights" if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chattycat89 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Actually Brandy, I just suggested to her your dynamic brush set "Twinkling"...I'm not sure if she really wants the "cord" to show (like in regular strands of lights) but if so, how would you go about making the "cords/wires/strands" with these brushes? And would you do the brushing before or after the wires? (And BTW, I've added this set to my OWN Wish List as well. So cute!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy M Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'd just take a straight string embellishment and warp it to arch a little. That set in outdoor dad comes also as a separate bulb and there is also a separate light (Glow) to overlay on the bulb. So she doesn't have to use the string. IN this layout you see those bulbs mixed with the Twinkling Brushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chattycat89 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Awesome, thank you! I think she's about as new to Photoshop as me (though I think she uses it just for editing, not scrapping) so that'll be very helpful to show/tell her. I know what I know in PSE & can muddle through but don't know enough yet to look at something & go "oh yeah, I can figure that out" quite yet. I'll get there, though... Thanks again. TOTALLY appreciate it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiles Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Brandy, that LO is just magical! It kind of looks like a cover for a Sarah Addison Allen book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
