Tia's Tips: PIXLR is my jam! If you are into or thinking about digital stamping you will need some type of photo/graphic/design editing program. Many folks use photoshop-but children's book author/illustrator/digital stamp designer Maurie Manning (https://www.mauriejmanning.net/) or better known in on-line formats (Instagram and Facebook) as Mo Manning (https://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/) is who introduced me to Pixlr. Pixlr is a free on-line program that I've had great success with and is how many of my digital stamp creations come to life!
Super exciting news this week! I am a new design team member for Polka Dot Orchard!!! https://polkadotorchard.com/ I hadn't even finished going through their catalog of digi-stamps and stencils when my eyes fell upon stamp set: https://polkadotorchard.com/product/remember-me/
There was just something about that girl that reminded me of the movie-"When Harry Met Sally" and I could instantly picture her walking through Central Park, lost in her thoughts and admiring all the fall leaves. Oh wait, Fall leaves! I need those! Thank goodness stamp set https://polkadotorchard.com/product/beautiful-colors-of-autumn-digital-stamp-set/ was there to provide 3 gorgeous types of leaves for my creation.
the project:
After downloading my sets, I selected my "Sally" image, sentiment and each of the 3 leaf offerings (variety is the spice of life).
The leaves are very large-perfect for cutting out and using on a myriad of projects! For this card, I minimized each one and then duplicated them. I love how in Pixlr, I can flip and turn each leaf and was able to quickly create her leafy trail. I felt the sentiment shouldn't be above her head, rather along side her-with additional leaves falling.
Hope you like it as much as I do! I'm excited to see what else ignites my creativity over at the Polka Dot Orchard's site.
