looking for template "shape" for page curls

[Bekah_E]

Hey there

Is it possible to create a template "shape" for page curls and turned back corners, etc for our shapes files in SBM? And if so.. how would one go about doing this?

thank you!

Hi Bekah... I did not make a shape, but I made a 12 x 12 png. Click on it to see it, then right click and save as a png.

Open Max, set the page size to what you want. Open the page curl image in Max as an embellishment, then go to Advance>Sepia, and change the color to whatever you want. You wont be able to use it as a paper scrap, but it will work with colors.

Let me know if this helps.

You're very welcome. In fact, it gave me what I needed for an SBM tutorial for my site.

The reason it will not change to a light color is you are building on a mid level grey. You can either start with a lighter shade of grey curled page which I will upload later today or you can go under the advanced and choose brightness and contrast and just move those slightly to the right (watch it, or the brightness will "blow out" the image.) If you are not satisfied with the first try, click on undo and try again. When you have a pale shade of grey, you should be able to achieve much lighter shades.

I posted in a new thread under embellishment listed as Page Curl for Helen Miller.
