Two new kits have hit the shop this morning, exclusively at: <a href="http://digiscrapstation.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_132">Digiscrapstation </a><br />
<br />
21 amazing high resolution, crystal clear mixed media brushes-the first collection of brushes in a new series, plus a collection of 8 beautifully made textured grey-scale papers, that can be re-colored over and over again. As a bonus-you also get 8 pre-made papers made from these textures! Use these kits together or by themselves, for some fabulous mixed media projects such as sachets, iron on transfers, create greeting cards, ATC's or even stationary! Have fun!<br />

The lessons are geared for the beginner to intermediate, but you must have some knowledge of how your software works. I have also shared some very basic lessons written in PSE6 with the workshop group, to help them get warmed up for the coming themes. The lessons are written in very basic step by steps, with plenty of photos, charts, color wheel and lots of fabulous links for free downloads. Workshop #2 will teach you how to create custom distressed grunge borders, overlays, brushes and a variety of techniques using what you create. Plus A New Bonus Technique.

We've been keeping busy, playing with a variety of themes while we wait for the final few, new students to join us. This is a montage I did with the theme: "All That Jazz". It started out as a cover from a vintage sheet music pamphlet that I altered and re-painted to make the colors more intense. <br />
The workshops are written for beginners, but teach a variety of things for everyone. Workshop #1 is blending modes and next month Workshop #2 is learning about distressing techniques and how to create tools such as: overlays, masks and brushes to achieve the distressed-illusion of age. There are 5 workshops in this series, that will end in November. For more info, click the link above.

"Serenity at the Beach" is the theme we have been playing around with for the past week-just having some fun while we wait for the remaining few people to sign up for the workshop. If you haven't signed up yet-there is more information below and a few more spots left. We are learning how to create layers of "Story Telling Montages" using blending modes in our software. The lessons are geared for the beginner to intermediate, but you must have some knowledge of how your software works. I have also shared some very basic lessons written in PSE6 with the workshop group, to help them get warmed up for the coming themes. The lessons are written in very basic step by steps, with plenty of photos, charts, color wheel, shared textures and lots of fabulous links for free downloads. Come join us!<br />
<br />
This layout combined a texture of some beautiful turquoise peeling paint, with a new layer of baby blue, blended with a fabulous vacation photo of a sandcastle and pavilion. The lettering is from a vintage catalog of boys dress suits, but after changing all the wording around, it's now a poster advertising boys swimming suits, priced below regular London prices. :-D<br />

This kit features 5 ready-to-print 5"X7" greeting cards for birthdays and Father's Day, as well as 3 moo cards, also ready to print. In addition to the ready-to-go cards, 50 individual elements are included; among them are 12 unique frames. A bonus Printable page of background paper rounds out the kit, which also lends itself to scrapbooking, altered artmaking and creating frameable wall art. All imagery is 300 dpi, for sharp, clear print-outs. Below is a QuickPage collage I created using kit elements.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRoHsOXFUDC6zciS6rmn8RKsu3uWjkTjXoTn_p3vUSTMSgNC-Wv5n2nl64na6xrNLr1irZT9ayvTYxqQQZ41MhDLtwLZ4FHfpFoXnuLU4hPjRmUOX9uVnCkBxhuLvluDqUSVhe00Mltlt8/s1600/dreampunk+quick+page+for+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRoHsOXFUDC6zciS6rmn8RKsu3uWjkTjXoTn_p3vUSTMSgNC-Wv5n2nl64na6xrNLr1irZT9ayvTYxqQQZ41MhDLtwLZ4FHfpFoXnuLU4hPjRmUOX9uVnCkBxhuLvluDqUSVhe00Mltlt8/s320/dreampunk+quick+page+for+blog.jpg" tt="true" /></a><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Click on image to enlarge it.)</span></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A special, hearty THANK YOU to Cindy Powell, without whom this kit would never have emerged!</div>Ceciliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16031340722947528626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033041896396178094.post-21240349279722102762010-04-28T11:14:00.001-07:002010-04-28T11:15:44.125-07:00Sherre's New Kit!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxw8SR6-utWtFXFAhxYYCIJn6jHk0voezkPBU9Ru0LRZfzAdK1G0qOKSz1cDn8tN4sN30fdlxsQCrXKIYiEOi08QFt_T7WKxS3sWh3ocLJTl8o5xgp_C8iwxPGaG77LrdotsM15zdGmRkX/s1600/Floral+Splendor+Sequel+Kit+Websize+Preview.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465253451088589330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxw8SR6-utWtFXFAhxYYCIJn6jHk0voezkPBU9Ru0LRZfzAdK1G0qOKSz1cDn8tN4sN30fdlxsQCrXKIYiEOi08QFt_T7WKxS3sWh3ocLJTl8o5xgp_C8iwxPGaG77LrdotsM15zdGmRkX/s400/Floral+Splendor+Sequel+Kit+Websize+Preview.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Here is Sherre's new kit which complements the Floral Splendor kit released previously.

The font is: Catherine Hand-writing font using black and a low opacity to make it look more like pencil.
