This is my very first page as a creative team member at BWScrapbooking.com. I am super excited to be apart of their team, they have some really awesome kits and tons of other digital/hybrid products. This was done using the Frost Festival kit, which has a really great palette of icy blues, whites and silvers. I used a tag embellie for the photo frame, and I used the embossing option and the linear/color burn options {in PS 7} to give a deep, icy feel to the page. the title work is Edwardian Script & Segoe Script, which i embossed and reduced the opacity. Here is the link to the kit @ BWScrapbooking: Frost Festival Kit. Thanks for looking!
the one accessory that i truly love using on every page is scrapbook chalk. i currently use 2 different dry palettes, one called Decorating Chalks, which is a bright and vivid palette with primary colors, and another by Pebbles, Inc. called Kan'dee Shimmer Chalks. I always use at least 3 different colors of chalk on the area that i work on. for example, if i want an area to appear blue, i would use a deep blue on the outer parts, a mid-toned blue next to that, and finally a very pale blue (or even white) in the center. this process can also be reveresed, using the deepest color on the inside rather than outer sides. I use applicators to apply the 3 shades, but i always blend them together with my fingers. using 3 colors (or more) ensures you will achieve good depth of color and goes back to basic art principals of shading and highlights. if you've tried chalking in the past and were not happy with the result, it might be because you didn't get the depth/dimension of color you hoped for. if this is the case, get those chalks back out and practice with the 3 color rule. i also suggest trying colors that you never tried before, especially deep/dark colors can look intimidating in the palette, but are necessary for creating certain effects on paper. i think you'll really be amazed at how easy it is to create beautiful effects with chalks if you keep an open mind about color!
Very pretty :) I've never done a digital page myself.
