With this post we welcome a new design team member to the Aussie Scrap Source fold – Georgia Keays!
Her stunning pages have a unique style all her own and it’s not just us who have noticed her of recent times, she has also been included in the first ever BasicGrey design team. Alongside her, we’re thrilled to congratulate fellow Aussie DT members Leeann Pearce AND Iris Babao Uy onto their team!
BasicGrey papers for Iris are synonymous with beautiful patterns and vibrant colours. Whenever she designs for BasicGrey the first thing she does is take a good look at the papers and figure out how to make the patterns pop out and not get lost in a design even with layers of papers one on top of the other.
This page is an example of how one can make the most of a patterned paper. Without much embellishments on hand, Iris was able to make a paper look like a die-cut sheet (red floral one), and make embellishments from hand-cut papers.
Here is one more page from Iris using the Picadilly line.
Janine loves the Out of Print range by BasicGrey! She loves all the distressed newsprint style in the background of the papers and the glorious palette of colours in the range. In this LO Janine used some large strips as the base to her photo and then built it up with lots of open circles in black for some punch to the design. She continued the distress look of all the layers by inking and distressing each piece and this also adds depth to the design.
Thankyou to Lisa Barrie for sharing two wonderful LO's using the BasicGrey Out of Print range. She has worked with the grunge/distressed look of the papers in this first LO, adding touches of mists and lots of fun flags and arrows that give so much "teen feel" to the page.
