*** New In The Shop: Summer Blues

When it gets this hot, you need some blue to cool off...



and a layout or two:



Sunset on Cape Perpetua: Our walk the other night... =) Everything from my Summer Blues kit @ Pixel Canvas, except for the tag from Chinoiserie. Font: Handscript Upright.

Tracy Little (5Angels):





Sandrine (timounette):



And here's another layout of mine that I made for Vinnie Pearce's new kit, Peach Hill (also out later today, I presume):



Wonder Always: Everything from Pixel Canvas. Fairy & light spots mine from (no kidding) Faery Lights. Everything else by Vinnie Pearce, mostly from Peach Hill, except for the moon brad thingie (Night Bird, recolored) and the flower mask (Grunge Floral Masks 01). Font: Batik Regular.

Enjoy your day!

Tuesday Templates: 07.21

$1.00 today @ Gotta Pixel!

You get a layered template (or 1 .png file), but the .psd file includes the hand-painted paper, 2 frames, ribbon, and hand-painted tag... quick, fun layout!

A couple of cards...

I was experimenting tonight with gold on black...



Stamp by Art Neko

I found that embossing in black on black cardstock was way cool, and the best gold coverage I could find was using a credit card to spread Golden Acrylics over the embossed image. When I used a lightly corrugated black-striped cardstock, I got this cool ripple effect...

The other card I really liked was this one:



Stamp by Non Sequitur

Here I mixed Pearl-Ex powders with a dab of Golden Matte Gel, and just painted it on. I really liked seeing it go a bit free form...

*** NEW: Sweet! (and it's 30% off!)

A totally cute little mini-pack with little animals and bugs and old window frame and lots of handmade doodles, now available at Gotta Pixel, 30% off!:

3rd Typography Challenge @ Pixel Canvas

This is the layout I created for the third typography challenge at Pixel Canvas: bringing focus to a part or element of the layout by using sequential indentation (adding and subtracting spaces at the beginning or end of lines).

New Shop, and New In The Shop!

Hehehe =) I'm so very pleased to be selling now at Gotta Pixel:



And in honor of this, everything's 30% off! Plus, I've been working on this new kit, Painted Petals, and it's done:



Whee!!! And I've made a couple of layouts:
