Journaling: Rosie with baby Camellia & Calvin

• All created in Affinity for computer
• I played around with several new to me techniques on this layout.
I wanted to create equal triangle shapes and struggled to get it to work. After several tries of using the triangle tool and then the pen & node tool I finally decided to look for an Affinity tutorial and was able to use the same concept to "slice" a square in half, then in half again to create 4 equal parts. I then rasterized each one so I could clip in the paper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZS50iz3ebM
• The brads were also a fun new thing for me as all except for the blue heart, which is part of the kit, are brad psd "templates" which are layered and allowed me to clip paper from the kit into them so they perfectly match my layout. I love using brads but sometimes the kit either doesn't have any or don't have the right design/color that I want and now I can easily create my own brad whatever color or pattern that I want. You can download several different brad psd templates from DigitalScrapbook.com https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/search/all/brad?search_term=brad&search_category=core_search&f%5B0%5D=im_field_file_formats%3A16363
• Both of the Word Art phrases were rasterized and have kit paper clipped to them.
