I didn't do anything special.
Just followed the tutorial to get the effect.
Nice one, Bob. =D>
It's a very good idea.

Thanks Bob for the tutorial it is very good, at my first try did not convert the blend to editable shapes, well that made the computer quite much slower :)
This example is just a play with those waves behind

@Rik—
You not only learned the fire technique, but your layout is quite handsome.
You should do the next page layout video. I'll mail you my camera.

Thanks for the kind comment, Gary.
But, I don't expect that I can match the talents of the master.
Re: April 2014 Tips and Tricks - Playing With Fire (In a Fun, Harmless way) with Xara
I don't know about that, I think you have plenty of talent Rik.

And I'm unaware of any "Master" who is on tg, Rik!
All I see , and that includes looking on the forum, the galleries and in my own bathroom mirror, and all I see are ambitious people with a thirst to learn.

Bob's 'blend' method got me thinking.
Just draw 4 lines of appropriate colours, blend them together, and a bit of feathering.
You can get a pretty good looking flame.
Then you could always put that on top of a candle!

Terriific, =D>=D> better be careful putting the flame image below the image of the candle though cause the way it is now you might just catch the candle image on fire. ;))
