SodScrap Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 This week we are going to talk about an awesome tool that I rarely use. This tool is so versatile and easy to use, yet, I just never remember to use it. So naturally, your challenge is to use this tool on your layout! Your challenge is to use the custom shape tool in some way on your layout. Bonus if you use it in more than one way!! Here are some blog post links to help you with the challenge. Also, please share a link to your favorite Custom Shape in the design shop. Tell us your favorite way to use custom shapes.5 Ways to Use Custom ShapesCustom Shapes in Photoshop ElementsWhen you are finished, post your layout in the Newsletter Challenge Gallery and post a link back in this thread.

SodScrap Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Here is mine: Charlotte the Flamingo I used these new shapes ScrapSimple Tools - Shapes: Essential Tags Set 02 Super Biggie from DRB Designs to create a layered tag/mat for the title. A pretty basic, yet effective way to use the custom shape tool. I worked on another technique and layout, and in the end, I didn't like the results of the layout. I used a retired Fall set of shapes, that had a pumpkin and made a scattered border and applied styles to it. They turned out cute, but the layout is just all wrong...

Lesann Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'm going to use this challenge for the Challenge Chase. At first I thought you meant shapes we bought in the store, then I read the link. I love custom shapes and use them all the time. Now to find an image. Hugs to all, Leslie Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
