Today everyone that posted a layout for PROMPT 01: Beachcomber July 10, 2019 is receiving not just the mini but also The Bucket. Along with an extra challenge. Everyone that plays along, completes the extra challenge, The Twist, will receive an extra prize on the last day of our LAD: Beachcomber!
THE BUCKET
THE PRIZE
THE TWIST
Today everyone who posted a layout yesterday received their buckets. Every day of Beachcomber take one item from your daily prize and “add” it to your bucket. The goal is to fill those buckets! Think of it as virtual beachcombing.
Now, how do you fill those buckets? Manu, Manu Scraps, made it easy for us!
- Open the manu-b-LADbeachcombing-bonusbucket.tif file. This is the layered bucket.
- Select all three layers.
- Drag all three layers into the included bonus paper.
Now, simply repeat this process and drag an element of your choice into the bucket. I picked the lovely shell by PrelestnayaP Designs:
As a final step, reposition your shell just the way you want it and add a drop shadow. I used the following settings on my drop shadow:
- Blend Mode = Multiply
- Opacity = 30%
- Angle = 120
- Distance = 30 px
- Spread = 0 px
- Size = 50 px
I am very happy with my bucket & lone shell! Bring on day two.
Thank you for the tutorial! Are we supposed to post our buckets each day as well as the daily challenge layout?
No. You fill the buckets every day, but you will not need to post them till the last day. There will be a special challenge, with the bucket, on July 27.
So…..I only use Artisan 5. I don’t know how to use tif files, so I don’t know if I can participate in the bucket challenge. Help?
The Bucket also comes with a PNG file. You can use that in Artisan 5. It will make it a little more challenging to fill, but still possible.
I just found this…does that mean it is to late for me to participate in the fill the bucket??
No. Play every day, and makeup day one on a Sunday to get the bucket. Fill it as much as you can before the last prompt on July 27.
