Even though it says that you ask that we stay inside the lines, does that mean we have to?
If so, I'll have to re do mine .-.
Also, since the line thing was mentioned, does the background have to be transparent?
If so, I'll have to re do that also. xD

Am not making the mistake I did in October by procrastinating. So instead I'm staying up way too late for someone who has to be up by 8. [DOUBLEPOST=1417840417][/DOUBLEPOST]

If we have to stay in the lines then I have to too though what's on the outside doesn't actually affect the inside, so if Santa's photoshoping it should be really easy to get rid of. I really don't wanna have to redo this because then I have to get a light box because I can't redo what I just did inside the ornament very easily .-. I'm 2 hours in and I really just don't want to have to do this again.

Just an easy trick i wanna share with you. If you use magic wand on the outside of the actual ornament layer then click on w/e layer has the BG thats outside the lines it'll remove it for you. thats what i always do ^_^

Hi guys
We ask that you stay inside the lines. If you have a background, we ask that it is a solid color. Sorry!

 

[Tariel]

It just accrued to me to ask this but...does it have to be "holiday" theme? or can it be w/e we come up with? If it has to be holiday theme then i'm gonna have to redo mine -__-

It can be anything as long as it is inside the ornament!

Can I send you what I did and ask if it's okay?[DOUBLEPOST=1417914912][/DOUBLEPOST]

Mine is hand drawn and I don't have the ability to just print out the template and redo it. I don't have a printer and had to do it by hand.

Thank you!
Does that also mean no drop shadow? Even if the background is transparent? Curious.

Yes, please stay inside of the ornament!

 

[meliphos]

Would it be easier for you if the background was a solid orange/green/some-color-other-than-white for you to be able to cut the ornament out if the inside has a lot of white?
