WOW! The April Count Down for Papertrey Ink is finally here! AND guess what?! I have TWO stamp sets releasing this month!!! In APRIL, PTI is going to celebrate the masculine mystique in the craft world.. which is PERFECT for my stamp sets... >> My Hero, My Dad is a stamp set honoring the men in our life. (Hop on by this week for peaks from this set!) >>GRUNGE ME is a fabulous go-to set for those of you embarking in the fabulous world of grunge!
GRUNGE ME: releases on April 15, 2011 in the
Papertrey store. >>Retails at $15
In the days to come, I will be giving some DESIGN TIPS for those embarking in the grunge world. This style may be new and scary to some crafters, but it's really not that hard to master. It's actually harder to mess up with this style than it is to perfect it. :) ............................
"GRUNGE ME" Tip of the Day: BALANCE!! Grunge elements are intended to be accents, so balance them out our straight lines and geometric shapes. A bit of splatter goes a long when and stands strong as an accent piece when coupled with squares, rectangles, circles, and grids. Clean lines match up nicely with the raw, messy nature of many grunge elements. An easy way to get your feet wet is start small and simple. Take a regular sketch for a project and look for natural places to insert a few elements. ...........................
DETAILS, DETAILS! >> PTI colors featured are Ocean Tides, Dark Chocolate, and Spring Moss. >> Stamps are all from "GRUNGE ME" releasing soon! >> Navy Mesh creates a nice geometric balance along with the circles on the base and grunged circles creating a larger frame for the sentiment. >> I can't resist a pop of orange color these days. Just love that color! And great for the "guy card" needs on my to-do list. :) I layered up some fringe and a strip of twine for a two-tone look. No bows, just keepin' it simple today. ................................
Be sure to stop by in the upcoming count down days! I can't wait to share some fun techniques with new textures, paints, and ideas for "man up" our cards a bit!! PLUS, you never know when prizes will be given away this week... I have some fun things up my sleeve for you all! Happy Count Down and See ya tomorrow!!!!
All Smiles, Tiffany
