Antebellum: Gift Tag Freebie

Susan's Antebellum Collection has beautiful Victorian style embellishments and papers. The collection inspired me to create a tag for you.

Antebellum Papers

Tip: Try adjusting the hue and saturation on elements and papers. It will give you lots of options. I duplicated the roses and placed the original under the adjusted layer. Then erased some of the leaves to allow a little of the green to show through.

The boot element is fabulous and I built the tag around it! Here is your gift, the image is linked.

Check out Susan's Blog for a daily gorgeous cluster created by Ellen.

Happy Spring everyone!

Bre here, checking in to see how everyone is enjoying the warm weather. It's so nice that it's starting to be nice out. Here in DC, we were getting snow/frost way too far into the season. It was a bit weird.

BUT! All that is behind us now. The trees are flowering, and the grass is growing just as we speak. If you have a garden plot to tend to, now is the time.

Susan released the prettiest kit perfect for scrapping the fruits of your garden's labor- Garden Fresh. I loved it so much that I had to go ahead and make some pages with it!



I liked them so much that I wanted you all to be able to use them to make beautiful pages of your own! They are in the shop right now- and HURRY, I think there might be a sale going on!





Oh and one more thing. I couldn't leave you with nothing! Here is a small token of my gratitude for always looking at my designs.

You can download it HERE for a limited time.

Have a Happy Mother's Day!

Just Breathe: Gift Tag & Cluster Freebies

In my Lavender Fields post I promised you a Tag created with the Just Breathe Collection from Raspberry Road Designs. I love this collection so much that I also created a mini cluster. This pretty collection has soft lavender hues and coordinates beautifully with the Lavender Fields Collection and the Pansy Garden Collection.

Mat, the Tag & Mini Cluster were created for you in appreciation for taking the time to post all of those lovely comments!

Here is the mini cluster. Click on the images to download.

I hope you enjoy both of these gifts.

Cheers!

Honky Tonk Heroes: Layout & Gift Tag Freebie

Country singer Georgia Holt, 86, mother of the legendary Cher, released her first CD Honky Tonk Woman this week. Georgia Holt recorded the country-influenced album with the members of Elvis Presley's band however the album was never released. The tapes sat in Holt's garage for over 30 years before being rediscovered, restored and mixed by The Voice's Musical Director Paul Mirkovich, who is also Cher's musical director.

Honky Tonk Woman features ten songs from the original sessions and includes a duet with Cher. Georgia Holt's Honky Tonk Woman is available through iTunes, Amazon and all other outlets.

Georgia Holt was a beauty queen, actress and model in her early life and always dreamed of a singing career. A documentary on the extraordinary life of Georgia Holt called Dear Mom, Love Cher, produced by Cher, airs on Lifetime Television (check local listings).

Georgia Holt and the music of Honky Tonk Woman inspired me to create a page layout with Raspberry Road Designs' Honky Tonk Heroes.

In an homage to Cher and her iconic song Gypsy, Tramps & Thieves I created a Tag for you using Raspberry Road Designs' Gypsy Cowgirl's Collection. Click on the image to download.

The Gypsy Cowgirl Collection is one of my personal favorites! This vibrant collection has a fantastic Metal Frames Set and I used one of the frames for my tag.

Cheers!
Rita

Honky Tonk Heroes: Layout

Here is the layout I created using Susan's fabulous collection Honky Tonk Heroes. The photo of George Jones in the green suit, with those awesome cowboy boots, was perfect for this page. I overlaid the floral paper over the green solid paper and set the opacity to 65% for the green to show through.

Tip: To overlay a photo over printed paper, create a layer under the print. Fill it with the background color. Select the printed paper and erase the print at 40% so the print does not show up on the face and hands.

Honky Tonk Heroes: Gift Tag Freebie

The Honky Tonk Heroes collection from Raspberry Road Designs evokes the spirit of dancing and drinking, loving and losing all to the beat of the steel guitar in the music style known as Honky Tonk.

Susan has designed all these fabulous sets to coordinate within the collection. The Addon Kit is filled with great goodies and is free for a limited time in the Raspberry Road Designs Store.

Honky Tonk Heroes AddOn by Raspberry Road Designs

I love the guitar with wings graphic and decided to use it for my tag. Turned the guitar into a clipping mask, clipped one of the gorgeous papers to the mask and added the graphic as an overlay. Using a grunge brush, I erased some of the graphic to leave the detail and erased all the way around to expose the black of the mask.

You can make anything into a Tag, they don't have to be rectangular, round or square. Take a moment, look at all the embellishments, papers, clusters and get inspired.

A winged guitar tag is your gift today. Image is linked.
