I had to do a new blog post because my sweet (and sassy) middleschooler was making fun of the picture of me in the below post. My family knows that I don't always like my picture taken so when my husband took the picture of me painting I "cheesed" it up big time for him...so that is the story with that silly photo...
Now on to business:-). I have three collections that are shipping to stores this month and I will be introducing them on the blog through out the next week. This first collection is called "Everyday Gourmet". I always begin the design process with pulling some color reference for inspiration. The colors in this collection were inspired by this old 1950's book cover. I love the style of illustration and the colors I thought were amazing, so that is how I began and you will see below how the collection evolved. There are several 12x12 papers and 2 sheets of cardstock stickers, 2 epoxy sheets, and some metal brads....
Here is the epoxy...
Here are a few of the papers......
And here are the metal brads....I just LOVE the way these turned out...
I have two more collections to show next week...until then, blessings to you!
What great products! I especially love the papers. Great color choices.
