    I just noticed that the aperture on the "in video" demo card (o.d.: 23:50) is lower than center, rather than centered or higher than centered. I like it ... yaaaa ... I like it!! Whether it was intentional or not, it just gives us another "look" to our results. Tfs!

    • @CrystalBest
      @CrystalBest  Před rokem +2

      I'm glad you picked up on that. It was truly to show how you can design the card as you like for different effects 😊 I changed the color on all the other cards and that one was the exact color so I just did a minor change. 💛💛💛

    You just popped up in my CZcams feed and boy am I glad you did! I love these 6 sympathy cards. I have struggled making these and I think what you said about the cards to be the same. I just couldn’t get them to turn out. I will be making several of these tomorrow I just hope I can do your cards justice and make them simply elegant. Thank you for a great tutorial and an easy to follow along.

      Crystal IS a delight to watch, isn't she!?! You're so very right about her voice. Calm, but doesn't put you to sleep, and the audio remains level throughout the video. And, yes, either she has already laid out her supplies to hand, or is MASTERFUL with her editing. Either way, she is a JOY to watch!
