Fun, huh? Seriously....i LOVE Valentine's Day & season...the hearts, flowers, chocolates....but, since I can't eat the chocolate, I love thinking of 'non-fattening' ways to celebRate the season....& delish perfum is IT! Not to mention a great way to say: Kiss Me....good luck!
Ok, so now, I wanted to take you in a bit with the Kiss Me Collection. I am in LOVE with it! & designed it with colors, textures, looks & feels that juxtapose romantic vintage with a modern twist...i love doing that. At our house, we call it: Mintage! LOL! The whole collection comes with so many things: (& for right now, you can get it all bundled up or separate)
Valentines (includes tons of washi tape, printables & individual Valentines- pre-designed)
Brushes (lovely designs to add some LOVE to all of your projects)
Borders (I am in LOVE with those cute Love Birds w/ top hats...oo la la!)
Pieces (designed with YOU in mind as the designer...just piece together & you've got LOVEly art) Papers (printable backgrounds in 12x12 & 8x10...mixture of vintage & modern: Mintage)
Printables kit (includes a Be Mine banner, Tags & Flags & Circles & borders...everything you need for a party)
aannndd: Word Art! LOVE these so much! Add them to any of the papers for a super fast scrapbook page or card. oooh la la!
So...I realize the colors are not 'traditional'....(I'm not very traditional when it comes to my designing. *wink*) But, if you are & you love the designs, but want different colors...this is when digital files are SO fab! Remember the handy dandy re-coloring tricks I taught you HERE? Well...that same technique can be used on your Kiss Me collection, too! From the light rose color original....to THIS! brighter pinks!
To simply Re-color, you'd go into Photoshop & go to: IMAGE>ADJUSTMENTS>HUE/SATURATION & your window would pop up like this. Simply adjust the sliders until you get the color you want. Remember to fiddle with the Huge, Saturation AND Lightness to achieve very cool colors.
And this heart paper is so fab in its original design of kraft & blush, but if you want a different look...try this one:
Or...how about an even softer look? See? Same papers, but totally different looks! Love it!
Now...I wanted to show you another way to re-color called: Replace Color. It works a different way, in that you select ONE color & replace it. & only it. So...for the striped paper, if the rose color wasn't doing it for you & you wanted it red: go to: IMAGE>ADJUSTMENTS>REPLACE COLOR
This box will pop up:
Then, you will take your 'eye dropper' & select the color you want to change. Since this particular paper has solid striped & textured background, it works perfectly to recolor JUST the stripes & keep the vintage texture in the background. I just adjusted my sliders to get a red & voila! The paper is YOUR fave color scheme!
So....enjoy, enjoy this fabulously LOVEly season...& leave a comment to WIN the scrumptious perfume...
