.png tutorial + J3W info

 

Hello everyone! I'm back with a tutorial on recoloring .png's! A lot of you know all about them and the different ways you can use them. For those of you who would like to learn more about .png's then this post will help you out :)

If you purchase digital kits you will notice that oftentimes you will have .png files that generally come in either black or white. That is if it's word art or decorative designs which are plain and are not made up of other elements like paper for example. So take my last kit "Say It With Love" I have .png titles that come white. They are not brushes. They are simply "images" on a transparent backround that you can drag onto your canvas and resize as you see fit. OR...you can change the color!!!! Now again, this may be common knowledge to many but I didn't know this for some time and I would always use the .png's as-is. Here is an example of how I changed the color of the titles for my kit preview.

 

As you can see here I changed some of the titles to pink and peach. You can do it too. Easily....

Here is a video link on coloring .png's.

 

Also, I have been getting inquiries about my workshop Journals 3 Ways. Many of you were wondering if it is still open. It most definitely is! Anyone can sign up at any time. I realize that I should have clarified better on it being "closed" The private blog comments are closed but the class is still up. So if you sign up and have any questions at all; feel free to email me! Here are some of the journals that have been created after taking my class.
