thirty something years old and still don't know what i wanna be when i grow up. but i do know what i love. good food, crafting pretty things, hiking and my cat. taking pictures of it all and scrapping about it later. playing with paper, yarn and photoshop. hanging out on PS, my cyber home.

i mean, i just had to make a page about making "winter arabesque"
it was such a sureal, fun, magical experience (and Violets journal card spoke to me...)
playing around with diagonal stacks & still refusing to make a pocket style page with a pocket style kit
*tip: the wobley effect on the papers was created with an uneven, wavey shadow layer - papers remained straight, flat, uncropped. try it, it's a really cool trick!

Love it! GREAT colors!!!
I seem to always be drawn to your LOs! I love your style! Saving to Pinterest!
Thanks for the tips :)
In Photoshop it is under Distort > Wave
glad to help... only wish i knew the exact name of the command... but it's definitely somewhere under "Distort" (maybe try "Sheer", or "Transformation"). i've got one in GMIC called "RandomDistort" that works nicely
Cool look with the wavy shadows! I will try that trick soon, thanks for explaining.
Whoa. Mind blown.
Your explanation does make sense, but it definitely uses technique combos that are outside my comfort zone - I still want you to come over to my house and do it for me!
It's always been fascinating to me what different specialties and niches we develop in how we learn and explore our design software. Some of the stuff I make that seems pretty straightforward people respond to much like I am about this - I like that different people get to be experts in different parts of this craft.
you can do this in any software: in new layer, with "path tool" create a vector same size as your paper/ object but with wavey edges, not straight - then blur it & lower the opacity = voila, realistic shadow! OR just copy the paper/ object, turn it black & blurry and distort it with tools like "perspective", "polar curves" etc. does that make sense?!
I want to learn your trick for making papers look wavy, Paddy, it's amazing and looks so good. Do you do it in GIMP? I wonder if I could translate your method to Photoshop somehow...
