Beautiful experiments, well done using some of these techniques in your own unique way! Love the "Turn on the lights" one! Have you tried using a different order of layers or different blending modes to get a little bit of the colouring into the text as well? Would be interesting to see how it would change the look.The "Gradient clouds" also look really nice, love how the edges of the shapes look! Not sure if they are clouds though, look pretty solid to me:D Maybe try adding some fading-out white circles arranged organically and in different sizes, and blur them to create a more cloudy look, and then mark them within the shapes? Also some other compositions with a similar effects could look really cool, for example, a pattern of shapes next to each other, or some more concentric composition to create an effect of multiple layers.The colours in the "Frosty" design work really well, and I like how sharp the cuts look in the "Paper cuts", so great job!Thanks a lot for taking this class and sharing your experiments! Glad to hear that you've learnt a few new things in this class!:)—Evgeniya

Thanks a lot for the tutorial series. Learned a lot of new tips &amp; tricks. Here's some of my results and experimentations.
