A new blog Inspired by Paisley Petals for Lucia!
Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and Founder's Circle member Lucia Gammon recently moved from Blogger to WordPress with Amy Celona's services at www.websbyamy.com. She asked for a blog design inspired by the new Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper in the new 2011-2012 catalog.
While this design isn't just like the designer paper, it does come relatively close in its style and colors. The colors aren't "exact" either, since we used Marina Mist Tangerine Tango, Cherry Cobbler, River Rock, Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Certainly Celery and Pear Pizzazz. That combination varies a bit from the paper. But we like the overall effect. I tried Bravo Burgundy instead of the Cherry Cobbler to start and it looked too dark for the web, which is why we opted to go lighter. This was also the reason for opting for Pear Pizzazz and Celery in place of the Old Olive and Always Artichoke. The entire design including the flowers at the bottom were all hand-shaded by me! Truly a labor of love!
Lucia also opted for pop-up navigation in her banner. This feature seems to be a big trend right now! Lucia's banner navigation was programmed by Heather Wright-Porto at www.blogsbyheather.com. Heather is very easy to work with and she is very accomodating. She gets the job done.
