{2012} MY CREATIVE LIFE WORKSHOP | A Deeper Look – April 2012
We recently released the April 2012 MCL Workshop files to our workshop members, but I wanted to share a little information with you about this month’s amazing tutorial that’s included in the member activities and downloads this month. I think creating and effectively using drop shadows are something all of us struggle with at one time or another but I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to be! This tutorial takes you DEEP into my own design techniques and I teach you how to “Create and Bend Custom Shadows”. I also show you how to quickly and easily thread items, such as ribbon and fasteners, through holes and other design elements. It’s a flawlessly perfect technique and you’ll appreciate learning how to do it.

There’s also a bonus set of goodies that compliment the article so you can follow along with my instruction and apply what you learn. For those who don’t have a {2012} My Creative Life Workshop membership yet… JOIN TODAY! I guarantee you won’t be disappointed! Here’s a look at the bonus goodies included with the workshop article this month. I actually use the techniques I teach you in the article on this week’s newsletter gift, specifically on the stitching on the “Spring” title. You’ll notice I created a custom shadow, then bent it so the pulled stitches look lifted off the page. Creating and effectively using custom shadows is an advanced technique that ALL of us need to know how to use in order to really bring our digital pages to life!
