Hot Hues Color Inspiration November

November 7, 2011 By Piradee 5 Comments

Hi Everyone, Piradee Talvanna here to share this month gorgeous fall hot hue colors and I’m truly wishing that I could be sitting there in the park enjoying the crisp weather (as in the top left picture).

For my project, I drew inspirations not only from the combinations of colors but also from one of the images provided – the bouquet of flowers.

Using some of the pattern papers from the nantucket collection; I created series of rosette flowers in various sizes and colors and used that to create my version of the bouquet.  Also have you seen those super cute wooden hearts from the wood shop alphabet – sawdust collection?   Couldn’t resist misting them with the studio calico – orchard, before adding them on.

For the title banner, I selected one of the mistable pattern paper and sprayed it with the same orange mist before adding the bit of twine and my title details.

A Bit of Spooky

October 18, 2011 By Piradee 2 Comments

When I realized that my assignment this month included an “inspired by” post – needless to say after reading my assignment details,  I went straight to Pinterest.  It’s just amazes me with the amount of inspiration that can be found there and many a times, I wish my room looks just like that!  And when I saw this image below – I was inspired by the details within all the elements and the combination of colors that I went straight for the printer tray, grab the Phantom collection and got started working right away…

Mixing and matching the various elements from the Phantom collection to create my version of the frames (from the above image).

And sharing some close ups of my “spooky” tray, whereby I used one of the elements stickers as my title and others through out the tray; and don’t you love that silhouette one!

And for these squares below, I also used bits of the clear transparent frames to provide a contrast against the pattern papers and at the same time, adding another layer of details…

And I couldn’t resist adding in a bit of fun with the chalkboard stickers (from the daily junque collection)…

And my favorite part of this collection – is the glossy finish on some of the patterns/design on the pattern paper.  Such as the spider and beware details (these pictures are not doing it justice); as they really add that final finishing to the project.

Member Mania Scraplift It!

October 5, 2011 By Piradee 2 Comments

 Hi Everyone! Piradee here to share a layout that I’ve created using the fun Phantom and Mistable collections for today’s “Member Mania Scraplift” installment.  Not only was I inspired by Leeann Pearce layout that she had shared with us on the Live Pink gallery, but I also wanted to add a little twist of my own – challenging myself to create a non-Halloween layout using the new Phantom collection.  Now, who said that you have to use a Halloween collection for a Halloween layout… right?

And sharing the gorgeous layout created by Leeann Pearce …. don’t you love all the fun elements that she included and especially the use of paint to create her background!

There were so many elements from Leeann’s layout that I was inspired with and I couldn’t resist including them onto my little layout – from the base layout design of multiple blocks, to the mix media background, the inclusion of flags (or banners in my case), the use of transparency to including some of the products that she had use (such as the soiree wood shapes and flag poles).   Also the title of my layout was inspired by one of the Phantom Clear Stamp – Caution – as honestly, that day at the amusement park was truely a “boys” day out…lol!

Also sharing some more details of the layout, where I used various distress ink and then water on the mistable pattern paper to create my droplet effect.  This is definitely one of my favorite technique as the effect looks as thou I also add a bit off misting.

And sharing some behind the scene steps in creating that effect… I first started by covering the mistable pattern paper with the various distress ink colors…

Then using my mini mister, I misted the water first in my hand and then sprinkled it onto the pattern paper (found that by doing this I would get bigger droplet size, in comparison to spraying the water directly onto the pattern paper….

And as the water dries up, you would start to see the difference in color shade (please note that I have only tried this with water based dye inks and not sure if this would work with other types / brand of inks).

Get Sketchy with ME

September 25, 2011 By Piradee 1 Comment

Hi Everyone,

Piradee here to share some more Vintage Vogue love.  For my layout below, I had used a sketch from PageMaps to kick start my creative process; drawing on the overall layout design but adding my own details here and there as I created the layout.

 

And here’s the sketch that I had used for my layout where I had opted to use the array of embellishments that coordinate with the collection, in place of pattern paper.

 

And this is one of the reason why I love Pink Paislee – I just adore the various embellishments that coordinate perfectly with the collection and are also universal enough to be used with other collections/brands.  For my layout – I went all crazy with the Ephemera pack – I just adore the variations of the die cuts, from that fun high heel (which I hardly wear to work anymore), to the cute flower centers.

And once again, I just can’t enough of these paper rosettes and love that all the hard work is done – just peel and stick!

… and here are some more close ups of the die cuts, chipboard pops, brads and spool buttons that I used…

A big thanks everyone for stopping by and love would to see your take on the sketch (curious to see if you normally follow a sketch as-is or use it more to kick start your inspiration).  Hope you all are having/had a great weekend!

Product Pick: Vintage Vogue Paper Rosettes

September 20, 2011 By Piradee 3 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Having you been loving all the Vintage Vogue inspirations so far?  I know I have and I honestly can’t get enough of this collection!  I’m just loving that shade of purple and light pink against the turquoise = fun!  And here’s my layout that I have recently created using the Vintage Vogue Collection.

For today’s product pick – the focus is on these fun Paper Rosettes that come in two different sizes and with three different border designs; and I’m personally loving the newsprint design on these (my fav!)

And here’s a closer look at the two larger rosettes that I used on my layout – each with a different border design and because they are the same size, they could also easily be overlapped with each other.  I also used the Mix Brads set – to add a little bit more detail to the center of each rosette.

And another peak at the smaller rosette, where here in addition to the fabric brad from the Mix Brad set, I also added one of those Spool Button for a spinning touch.
