Oh, please do try @MJW! I think @Red ochre's suggestions would be a wonderful addition to the plugin. I use the modified Edgeshader a lot...and I mean a lot! It is one of my most useful plugins. 😸

Love that @welshblue! It looks plasti-licious! 😆 It looks like lemon candy...I can taste it now...

Thank you @JulioCoolio and @Seerose for your lovely comments! Glad you like the piece!

Both, for sure!! Though Jackie DeShannon's piece is the one I remember most. Always playing on the kitchen radio on a Saturday afternoon...🤤

@JulioCoolio, both are great pieces but I love the texturing on the 2nd one. What texture tutorial did you use?

Thank you @Pixey and @barbieq25 for the reps and lovely comments! I felt a kind of inspiration driving this one. Thanks, also, to @Woodsy, @ReMake, @LionsDragon, @doughty and @welshblue for the reps. You guys are the bestest!! 😸

Great job @LionsDragon! I have that CD! Haven't listened to it in a while...have to dig it out. 😊

What We Need...What The World Needs This came about when I was trying to apply my 'Plasticized Text' technique to a shape. I used one of my generic flower shapes and after much 'tweaking' it kind of morphed into this: The background is my own creation through many PDN plugins. I hope you enjoy 'what we need...'

Thank you @ReMake for restoring this tutorial! @yellowman has some really great tuts on this forum. Thanks, @Woodsy for the pdf!

That is crazy gorgeous @Pixey! So shimmery and marbled. Great work!

The Poll is now open for ‘A Desert Scene'. It will be closed on Saturday, June 8th, 2019 – 7:00 pm (UK time) and 2:00 pm (EDT). World Clock. Thank you, everyone, for your beautiful entries. May the best win!

Hi @LITMirror22. The Outline Object plugin is only used on the 'stripes' layer. This gives you the thin pink stripes on either side of the dark red ones. It is not meant to be used on the text layer. You should not even have a text layer yet. After you flatten the two layers to get get your stripes background, then you are using Text Mask as shown in the above tutorial instructions. If you need further help, please ask.

You got that right! Things, overall, are pretty good. I can't complain. 😸

That's a stunner for sure @JulioCoolio! Lovely colors!

Thank you @LionsDragon for the reps! I've missed you on here. Hope all is going well.

Thank you @ReMake for the explanation and thank you @Ego Eram Reputo for removing them! (The creepy Mod strikes again...no I didn't!)

It still looks good, but a more 'rounded' font works better. I like the little 'ridges' you have going on. Great result, welshy! How do you get rid of spoiler if you accidently hit it??? (A: Wait a while, a creepy Mod will sneak in and do it for you)
