Re-coloring the Adriana Collection to YOUR wedding colors!

Hi everyone! I wanted to do a little tutorial to show you how easy it is the change the purple color in my "Adriana Collection" to other colors.



The purple shade is relatively easy to change without affecting the green or ivory- or gold- in Photoshop or your graphics program.
I use the Hue-Saturation dialog box, by going from "Image>Adjustments>Hue Saturation".


Notice that first, I select "Magenta" from the drop down list in the dialog box. If I had left it "Master" it would have shifted ALL of the colors- and that would result in some funky foliage, to be sure, LOL!


Then I shifted the Hue slider, to the left, to about -45 and got a pretty navy blue.


Here, I shifted further to the left about -126 to achieve a nice teal.


To get a nice deep green, I shifted left -180.


Now to get this red. I shifted to the right +60 in the Hue box. But that left it a little dull, so I boosted the Saturation slider +37 to deepen the red color.


To get this golden-brown color, I shifted right +106.

Now suppose you want to recolor a single paper or element from purple.

I simply shifted the Magenta to the right +40 degrees and got this gorgeous red satin.

Now this is all good for your deep, dark or bright colors. But you're not going to get a light or pastel from it.
However, you can shift the lighter colored papers and elements in the same exact way, like this:


I chose the Magenta from the drop-down list of colors again. Then I shifted the Hue slider left -94 and got a nice pale blue.


And to get this minty green, I shifted the slider left -180.

Now when you get to some of the elements that have a couple or few shades, you might have to tinker a little, selecting the Magenta first, clicking OK, and then seeing if another shade needs shifting- like "Cyan" or "Red", etc.

Most of the elements can usually be done like this. And if you have any problems, please- don't hesitate to drop me a line in the comments section, or through my email ( mferkul@gmail.com ). I'd be happy to help you- or even recolor something for you if you get too stuck!

Blessed Litha! Step into the "Ancient Ways" w/Studio Miki @ SBG- on SALE!

The beginning of an amazing journey through the year, and the Wheel of Life!

As we step back in time, we look to the Ancient Ways of our ancestors who walked the earth and learned its seasonal rhythms. According to the old ways, the year was marked by the solstices (the longest and shortest days) and the equinoxes (the 2 days each year where a perfect balance between day and night, dark and light was achieved). Fourth in the Ancient Ways Collection, "Litha", also called Midsummer and the Summer Solstice, marks a celebration of plenty, a fire festival- and the earth at its prime! This day occurs between June 20th and 23rd each year, and after this day, light begins to wane until the Winter Solstice (Yule), in
December. Midsummer was also a time that was regarded as mystical- a time for faeries,  magic and dreams. It's a time for merriment, joyous celebration of nature's bounty- the first taste of the fruits of labor, and of the love and passions shared between earth's inhabitants! The Sun Festival was a noisy celebration- marked by bonfires, dancing, singing and drumming into the wee hours of the morning. The month of June was also a traditional month for weddings- a custom that has lasted to this day. Litha is marked by the symbolic fire and light, as well as the sun, by summer flowers such as lilies, roses and lavender, by the sundials that mark the solstice, by faeries that roamed about more freely on Midsummer's Eve and strange things happened, and the mighty oak  and the sword that symbolised masculine energy and divinity. The thematic focus of Litha is gratitude for the many gifts and blessings we have, and the open celebration of that bounty.

In "Ancient Ways ~ Litha", you will find the vibrant, lively shades of red, green, maize yellow, golden tan, blue and white. This kit is perfect any layouts, your family scraps, summer celebrations,  and your powerful journaling projects -  you'll find yourself using it for a variety of layouts for years to come!

In "Ancient Ways Litha Page Kit" by Microferk Designs, you get a huge selection of papers- 20 patterned, blended and/or textured papers you will use over and over again! Also included are over 45 elements: a large gold frame, 3 silk flowered with metallic button/gem centers, a jeweled button in green and in red, bow and string, folded red ribbon, red bow, red flower buds, foliage, a sheer, creamy knotted ribbon and matching bow, fancy brad, staple, a set of 2 jeweled photo turns, a swirly painterly wave, a  fancy long tag,  a strip of flames (in paper and in acrylic versions), 2 unique paper frames, a metallic and gem-accented frame, 2 journal blocks, a jewelry tag, both with brad and without, a large Asian lily, a large red rose, an overlay with relevant "midsummer' words, an embellished instant frame, 5 postcards- 2 with classic art faerie scenes and 3 original photography pieces - all lightly distressed and aged, a round tag both with words and without, a string tag topper, a sun symbol, sundial, a distressed patch with a tree, 6 pieces of word art and a gorgeous guitar pic!
In "Ancient Ways Litha Page Kit" by Microferk Designs, you also get  a full set of alphas, both upper and lower case letters, numbers and 7 extra characters, all in a slightly tarnished metallic finish.  Each character is in its own file- no need to 'cut' apart.

Drop shadows are only applied in instances where layering of pieces within an element necessitate shadowing for realism.
