Late Summer Garden Set + Background

The summer is winding down again. This can be a wistful time of year, for we know that it is sure to linger but a little while more.

Today's post is about enjoying the summer days remaining for this year. The collage set below, along with its matching lacy background, is ready to be downloaded and then used. 

Note: Background Photoshop lace Pattern is by babypink (name is a link) over at Brusheezy. The copyright for the Lace pattern (entitled, "Spetts") is as follows: "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License. You may redistribute, remix, tweak, and build upon this work even for commercial reasons, as long as you credit this artist by linking back."

Please read and follow the copyrights and red letter Guidelines listed here at this blog. There is a special set of rules for this particular post. Thank you so much for this courtesy. My goal is to show you what is legal and what is not legal. I always try for the fairest use that fits within International Copyright Law, for I would hate to create any confusion as to what is correct and what is not for you, my guests.

This project took me many hours of work before it was, at long last, ready to be posted here. This little labor of love began quite some time ago, when I found the images I've used to make it, in particular the image of the lovely young woman dressed all in pink.
From the bouquet of flowers that she is enjoying to the handkerchief under her other hand, to her crinolined skirts, she would have looked right at home in many a fine Victorian setting. I have removed her from her prior setting, however, in favor of surrounding her with flowers in a new background, prior to cutting this pocket.

The arching pocket itself is about 4 inches by 5 inches in size, although a copy center or your home computer might allow you to shrink it in size a bit, should you wish to change that size. I would not recommend enlarging it any at all, however, due to a few resolution problems I encountered while completing this project.

Guests who are new to this blog will notice the tabs on both pockets. Once folded under and then glued to your chosen surface, these tabs (or foldable flaps) will remain hidden. I've created a Display image to show a few ideas as to how this new set of mine could get used.

There are other creative sets like it here at PPS. The Spring Garden Collection, in particular, comes to mind. But this one is all about the changing seasons or else an appreciation of the beauties of each day. After all, each day may be considered a flower in the larger bouquet of human experience, can't it?

Note:
For best print copy quality of this particular set, it is a good idea to change your printer settings to the smallest margin size allowed, or else choose the option to print without any margins at all.

Happy Late Summer Creativity!

Spring Garden Label Set

Grow a green thumb with the new Spring Garden Collection here at PPS!

These two new label sets were a lot of fun to produce. Please see the red letter Guidelines at the bottom of each post, including this one. Where credits are given, please observe them. Thank you.

The first set is a simple, plain one, one with all of the possibilities in the world for handwritten or stamped or stenciled, etc. messages and mottos.

The second set has thoughts of spring, from Audrey Hepburn to William Shakespeare, and several more besides. As a small bonus, I've added a little watering can graphic to one of the labels.

Both sets match the previous 2 Book Artist sets in the Spring Garden Collection, as their Background pages have been used in this design. Also included is the tan Background page from the Red set from a few days ago. In other words, mix, match and contrast is what it's all about! 

You can look for more sets and accessories, etc. in the weeks ahead.

Happy Creativity!

Frosty Blue Collage Pages

Frosty Morning Blues!

I awoke feeling chilly yesterday morning and again today. After the adventures with the color Pink, I felt like taking my color wheel for a spin, and when it landed on a lovely deep sky blue, I was ready to sing those blues!

Please see all red letter Guidelines and credits for every post, including this one. Thank you so much.

Today's first item is the original Background. I really liked the way that it looked, and so I went a step further by making a diamond pattern using it plus a richer tone.

Next, I simply had to add a page of tags. These come as a threesome, so in keeping with the musical theme, they are now a Trio!
:)

The Extras come next, followed by frames with some snow motifs.
Brrrr! I'm chilly already, just looking at all of the cool, icy blues!

Happy Wintertime Creativity!

2 Tag Sets in New Colors

Two new tag sets + two new matching collage pages are included in this post.

It all started when I finally took the time to begin sorting my messy filing system. (This could take months!) There it was (tucked away n the wrong place), a lovely older version of my favorite antique marble paper. I hadn't realized that I'd kept the original. Into Photoshop it went then, and after several minutes of experimenting with a few new colors, I was glad that I'd tried. To this was added a second marble paper, this time smaller and deeper in tone, but equally pretty. This has given a two-toned look throughout these Gift Tag Sets.

I think that the following sets might look well with either silver or white tissue paper, or perhaps plain silver regular wrapping paper. Silver and white curly ribbons might be very festive, likewise. But you decide!

How the Doll's Standard Should Actually Look

How the project will look when done

This is only for Display purposes, of course. However, it seemed neglectful of me not to have include this in yesterday's post here at the Studio.

Included are some probably useful hints for successful completion of this little project.

The Download Link for the Template (or Pattern) may be found by following the Link HERE.

One more hint:
A little bit of something slightly heavy could add more stability once the doll is erect and attached. A coin or some other small item could help keep gusts of air from knocking her flat.

Happy Playtime Creativity!

Free Paper Doll Party Card or Invitation

Why not have a Paper Doll Party?

UPDATE: This is the NEWER, much improved version. It has cleaner lines, a lot more lace, and the top looks more refined to me. Have fun decorating this fan your own way!

It occurred to me the other afternoon, while on a break, that there already has been for some while a stock of several fans available for free here at the Studio's blog.

{Please read and follow all Credits (in black) and Use Guidelines (in red) below. Thank you.}

The Idea
Then an even happier thought struck my brain: Why not make a Fan Invitation or Card for Victoria's fans (so to speak)? I have been finishing slight upgrades for several days, including making the doll look a little bit better. This was then followed by a set of 5 different hair color choices, so guests could begin choosing.

More outfits have been added recently, including a new favorite of mine, the Geography Lesson outfit. Believe me, this was a labor of love. I really do enjoy history, including what people wore once upon a time.

The Details
The flowered border at the top is from an old illustration of  forget-me-not flowers. The tiny mother-of-pearl buttons which border the soft central oval frame are from my own collection. I believe that they are either blouse or sleeve buttons. They may have been used on a child's outfit once. (It's actually one button which I duplicated once for a different project, but never mind all of that now! LOL)

All brushes used to embellish this fan are from brusheezy.com (as I recall), and are designed by obsidiandawn.com.


So without further ado, here is that Paper Doll Party Fan Card/Invitation. I suppose it also might be fun to use as an ornamental object of some sort.

More Paper Doll Party Supplies have already been dreamed up by yours truly! I suppose that I am paper doll crazy this month!

Free Accessories for Book Artists #4

More Free Images for Book Artists!

This time, the Studio's blog will be offering guests one more opportunity to use some of the previously found items for artwork, crafting, and so on. A number of the things you'll be seeing in months to come had been in the Studio's archives for years. 

Below, you'll see the first in a series of lace items, along with a new fan, some different buttons, and two examples of ways to use this little set. 

The set is available in both Digi PNG format and in for print JPG format. Please read our red letters below the following images for our guidelines as to free and fair use.

I'm mixing eras in our (2) examples this time, so that you'll see just how much fun such a mixing technique this can be. Eighteenth, nineteenth and even twentieth century things will be shown. I suppose we can liken it to mixed media artwork, in a way, can't we?
:)

Some of the buttons are from an old nineteenth century French map, one that I've used before in other work. I think that they turned out fairly well, all things considered. The other style of button, an eighteenth century one, needed just a bit of touch-up prior to being used, as it was looking a bit untidy and even rumpled. Once its looks had been restored, it seemed to make a nice contrasting color look to the cravat lace "pocket," which I've also cleaned up and altered for you.

As for the fan, can I just say that it was a case for me of love at first sight? This required several different types of cleaning and refurbishing, initially. I'm so glad that it was available for use today.

Once again, please read our red guidelines below. Thank you so much for stopping by with your
Happy Creativity!

Free Accessories for Book Artists #3

Book Artist Accessory Set #3: Buckles, Trim, Buttons & Ribbon

This new set is actually a combination of ideas, eras, and prior creations. The vintage trim was scanned in years ago; likewise our wee little buckle, now offered in more than one color way and more than one size. Both trim and buckle were found on various shopping trips here and there. I just can't resist a good flea market or antiques mall, can you?
:)

All of this is copyrighted, of course, so please read our red letter guidelines below.

The buckle is from the first part of the twentieth century. The embroidered buttons, as mentioned previously, are from the eighteenth century. The cloth is also from the eighteenth century. It's a favorite era of mine. The cloth buttons are all faux or fake, made using Photoshop processes. These were fun to make!

The pocket flap is actually the way most pockets did look at one point in the eighteenth century, when even shoulder seams were cut in a different way. I love the embroidery on the pocket flap, including all of the colors used. 

The lace in the Example (fist image below) is actually a digital brush. No credits may be added for that one, but it most likely came from the Brusheezy website. Simply go to Brusheezy.com and type into their search window the word, "lace." (I tried looking for it but without success) They have some lovely free things there. Obsidiandawn.com likewise has some refined lace brushes if you're into digital art making. That's a favorite place online for me personally, by the way.

Guidelines are listed in red below the following images.
Happy Creativity!

Free Accessories for Book Artists #1

Create a Pocket for your altered book with our NEW set

This set is all about book altering, art journals and visual journals, although I suppose even some scrapbooking fans might find some fun uses for today's design.

Personally, I've played around with books for years. I've altered several, and enjoy art journals very much. I've built pockets, pullouts, doors, and altered page poems, and even once joined in altered book shows. Today's digital art crowd may find this set especially useful, as it's been offered in both digital PNG and for print JPG formats.

The shoe had to be significantly altered, but the most work was put into refurbishing the man's waistcoat front. But the embroidery! Just imagine, my friends, how many days, weeks, or perhaps months of work it took to make such garments! Even now, it sends a shiver right through me.We left out both upper and lower tabs on the waistcoat fronts, as adding any of significant size would have crowded out part of the margin we like to use. I suppose our guests might choose to add some of their own. I also like the idea of using lace or pretty tape or just plain glue in place of a tab at top and bottom. We'll leave that up to our guests this time.
:)

Shown below, first in our line up of pictures, is but one example as to how this set might be utilized in the addition of pockets and small tucking places for altered books, art journals, or scrapbooks.

You'll notice our set might have come straight from the old courts of Versailles in France of the eighteenth century. However, in the example, we chose to mix centuries, combining the eighteenth, nineteenth, and finally early twentieth centuries in one single example. This was to offer suggestions on how to combine centuries within the same design. To allow the colors to do all of the talking made best sense.

So here it is, and I do hope this will be of some use. Please note the beige colored tabs attached to the embroidered waistcoat portions of our set. For those of us with print capabilities, the fold line is obvious between the tab and the waistcoat.

As for the pretty little shoe, the Studio's version simply cut away the shoe's interior. I think it looks tiny enough to actually fit Cinderella's foot, wouldn't you agree?
:)

I love the hand embroidered shank style buttons on the waistcoat, and so there are several offered in the set for you to play with in your art.

We hope to soon expand our Altered Book Accessories line for you. Quite frankly, it is a favorite of this PPS artisan.

The following work was built with Public Domain material, yet it is now no longer copyright free. The design belongs to Plush Possum Studio.

Please see the red letters below for our guidelines. We prefer to keep it free for our artist friends around the world.
Happy Creativity!

Free Decorative Frames

Malachite, Marble & Mother of Pearl Frames

Two Greens + One Pink! 
Our biggest crowd pleasing ideas can be summed up in a short list. One of the things we do seem to get more attention for would have to be our frame collection. It's fun to imagine how people from around the world have enjoyed playing creatively with any one of our frames.

Well, we got the inspiration for this newest set of ideas from Kristin of Summer of Color fame. Her SOC5 has been a thrilling ride for this Studio affiliate. Today's challenge led to the Studio attaining a newer understanding as to how to make a frame look at least semi real using digital art making processes.

In other words, this has been an extra fun challenge this week!
:)

Below, we offer frames in two ways, and with two different ways of using 2 greens with a single pink. The first will be a single frame, in print format. The second is a Digi Scrap set in the PNG format. If a smaller size than our Digi 12 inch by 12 inch size is requested by anyone who visits, rest assured, we will get busy right away and make an 8.5 inch by 11 inch version for you.

Please notice the credits this time. We attribute every time we use anybody else's work in ours. Please respect everybody's copyrights, as we certainly have respected theirs and yours together. (This first frame might possibly get utilized in a new blog look for the Studio as well!)

Thank you.
Happy Creativity!



You are never allowed to sell any of the 
frames we offer in this post.
The reason ?
Because some of the items used require no selling and full attribution.
Please attribute to us as well as to the artists we will list herein.
Thank you so much for cooperating.

Free Decorative Frames

Plush Page Frames for SOC5!

Sorry to be so late to the party, but at last we have an entry for the SOC5 challenge for the week!

That challenge? Two Purples, One Yellow.

I LOVE purple, as anybody who knows me can tell you, so this was an extra fun challenge, even though there wasn't much time for it this week.

We went over the top this time by using more than was suggested, and hope that Kristin will not mind (are you kidding?--we know that this wouldn't bother any true lover of color!). We've taken her wonderful idea for us to use two purples and then made use of a few more as well. This was really fun! As for the yellow part of the prompt, we decided to play upon that theme by using a goldenrod color for the one frame and metallic yellowy gold for the two others that are not all purple in tone.

The basic "fabric" of the frames is all from scanned imagery by our Studio, being old fashioned end paper from an antique book. We've changed it and used some software which allows us to make frames, and then added a few touches to these frames to keep it a little more interesting for you.

I suppose, by choosing to go beyond the bounds of the rules, that we have cheated just a wee bit. You could call it "Several purples, two yellows" instead, if you care to.
;)

We hope our guests will enjoy this little offering of purple and gold in good health along with their 
Happy Creativity!

Chocolate Cherry Bonbon Heart Set + Matching Background

At last!
Our series of chocolate heart sets for your visual sweet tooth continues this afternoon with our second set, this time all about chocolates with cherry filling. It's basically the same set as our first one, but with a few changes, including colorway. The marble is from an antique book cover of the Victorian era.
You can expect to see another one upcoming, in a slightly creamier style. 
I'm  especially fond of this particular set, as it was inspired by a Studio affiliate from the Great Plains, who has a real passion for cherries and chocolate.
:)
We hope she won't find herself having too big a craving for her favorite chocolate cherry cordials after seeing this post.
Anyway, here it is, with matching marble diamond background for your use.
For the first in this series, you can go HERE.
Happy Chocolate Creativity!
