I am still trying to figure out how I missed this tutorial. Each layout is unique but clearly defines your tutorial in the most positive way. So thankful that the link was posted on Facebook page. Thank you for including everything within the download. 🙂
Karen Schulz
Hi Shirley, I’m so glad you saw the tutorial on FB, and I hope you have fun with it! Karen
Bonnie Ripp
Love it and thank you very much. I have one question on Part 1. At the end of the tape you say to add the level layer, but then how do you attach it. Yours disappears. My level is still in my layers panel.
Thank you
Karen Schulz
Hi Bonnie! I’m glad you like the sketch tutorial. If you look at your layers panel, the Levels layer will still be there. What disappears is the Levels adjustment box/options. I hope that clears up the confusion. If not, let me know. Thanks for your question. If you had it, others did too, I’m sure!
