Ephemeral Soul

I have always been inspired by collage and altered kits -- kits with muted colors and unusual elements, sometimes vintage, sometimes not, with lots of interesting blends and textures.   I don't consider myself to be an altered artist, I don't quite get what I'm supposed to do, but I love, love, love the way that these kits can become anything you want them to be: funky, pretty, intensely personal, you name it.  Some of my own favorite pages have been made with kits that are this style.

So for the last six months or so I have been pondering the idea of trying to make that kind of kit.  Its a little bit outside my usual box and so I have been intimidated by the idea and a little afraid to try.

A few weeks ago Helly (Designs by Helly) and I got to talking and she said she was kind of in a design rut and maybe it was time for us to collab again.   I love working with Helly -- we inspire each other and each of our collabs has turned into something more, something better, than either of us could make on our own.  So I threw the idea for this kit at her to see if she would be willing to give it a try with me.  Helly has such great vintage style that I thought she could do this really well and that with her help I would be brave enough to take the leap and give it a try.  And so Ephemeral Soul was born.

Ephemeral Soul is huge!   We wanted it to be something with a little bit of edge but still mainstream enough to be used for normal, every day pages and once we started designing we had so many ideas that we just couldn't stop.   It contains more than 90 elements, 20 gorgeously textured papers, two alphas and a complete set of 90 or so word snips (on individual png files and one big sheet) all at 300 dpi for professional printing results. Not everything is shown in the preview because I simply did not have room for everything.  Its S4H and S4O friendly and its 20% off until Wednesday only.


Look at the fantastic work my CT, Helly's CT and the ScrapMatters CT has done with this:

And more and more!


Also, there will be three chances to win it!  Watch for a thread at DST and keep an eye on Helly's facebook wall (today!) and my facebook fan page on Monday.
