Elaine (from Scotland!) has a new banner and watermark

This lovely cow is a resident of the Isle of Skye in Scotland, and her photo was taken by Elaine. I was worried about how I'd work it out when she wanted swirls with the cow, but once I thought of the swirls as more "misty" that helped considerably!

We also worked up a watermark for Elaine.

Thanks, Elaine, for choosing me for your design!

Wellness Creative has a new banner

I'm busy filling a card order (in between banner/watermark designs) so I won't go on too much, but this is Stacey's new banner that I wanted to show you! We had to try several times, but we've finally made it! :)

Stacey picked these pictures and asked me to lay them out, and that's just what we did. Thanks for choosing to work with me, Stacey.

New look for Kulesa Design for spring

You may have noticed that I posted a new banner for myself today. This banner took hardly any work because, well, it was one of my customer's rejects. :)

See some similarity between mine and Cassie's? Yep, these branches started out for her. While we went cleaner for her doodles, I loved the bright scallops and the crab apple blossoms for spring, so I just dropped my text on top (only took about 15 minutes to rework this banner for MY use) and copied the branches so they'd be on both sides of the banner.

Happy spring!

Cassie has a fabulous new banner

Crafter Cassie has a new hand-drawn banner in place on her brand new blog. I didn't draw the words, but everything else on there was created just for Cassie. The bird was a specific request, and I probably drew 7 birds before settling on this one to use on her banner. When I showed it to her, it was love at first sight! :) She was so great too about sending me photos of fabric samples as examples of styles or colors until we got to just what she wanted.

Kate McKinley - photography banner

This is for photographer Kate McKinley's blog. She wanted something fresh and clean, and I think that's just what she got! :)

Laurie's Inspired Designs

New look for a new blog! Laurie has a new blog that she wanted to make her own, and she came to me for help. She even hung in there with me while I had a major creativity lag (due to other life circumstances that have been going on).

I love the monochromatic look to this banner, and the subtle floral background. We also did a coordinating watermark for her work.

Thanks, Laurie!

The Scalloped Edge has a new look!

Jackie's blog, The Scalloped Edge, has a new look to go with her incredible stamped creations. Based on Jackie's answers to my questions at the start of the process, I wanted to create a soft banner with a boho angle. I was thrilled when in response to her first preview, Jackie told me I'd created exactly what she didn't know she wanted.

We also worked together to pick new colors for her blog from her banner to create a complete look. Thanks, Jackie, it was a pleasure!
