A day for grey, shadows and black...crafting
©twopeasinabucket.com
Moving right along in our colour patterns, today brings us to crafting with grey or black! Post what you make and link us up in the comments so we can have a look.
One little tip for shadows on digital scrapbook pages—yes, Photoshop can add nifty shadows to elements in your layout, but you can create a different look with any brush. Stamp the brush design once in a light shade, then make a new layer and stamp the same brush in the same size in a darker colour. Slightly offset the two layers so you can see both and you’ll have a new shadow effect. That’s how I added some depth to the tree in this layout. Super easy!
So what will you make today? A paper page, a digi page, something stitched, something painted…? Whatever you make, enjoy!
