Please welcome a very special GUEST DESIGNER this month! Antonia is a digital and hybrid papercrafter for Jessica Sprague. We asked her to join us this month to help show you, our readers, how fun hybrid and digital scrapbooking can be. Following are three projects created by Antonia using Echo Park Paper digital collections.
Sunset at Salt River Fields (Digital)
- Digital "This & That Charming Paper Pack 1" & "This and That Charming Paper Pack 2" (Stary Eye, Wood Stripes, Yellow Rope, Swirls, Stripes, Circles)
- Digital "This & That Charming Element Pack 1" & "This & That Charming Element Pack 2" from jessicasprague.com (Alphabet, Ticket Border, Star, Baseball, Snapshots)
- Digital "Grand Slam Mini Kit" (Paper - Grand Slam Line Up, Element - Baseball)
- Software: Photoshop CS5
- Font: Honey Script, Century Gothic
Instructions:
1. Open a blank 12" x 12" canvas in Photoshop (I used CS5).
2. Use the shape tool to create your basic design.
3. Add digital papers, using your shapes as clipping masks.
4. Add embellishments, banners, etc.
5. Add your photograph(s) and journaling.
6.Add finishing touches (I used the brush tool to add paint splats and recolored them to match the brown in the embellishments. I also added stitching elements.)
7. Add drop shadows throughout the design process and then made final adjustments to the shadows once the page design is completed.
