This week we are shaking things up a bit with special guest posts from none other than the SEI Art Studio! We are excited for you to meet the "new gals" and also get to know us "oldies" a little better too. Each of us has unique interests to share throughout the week.
We are starting with Mandi. She is our fashion expert. We love seeing the outfits she puts together. They inspire us and sometimes our paper collections inspire our fashion choices too!
Mandi told us what she had in mind to share today. But since she went on maternity leave before she could put it together, we snuck on her Pinterest and whipped these outfit/layout inspirations up for her.
Ready to get inspired by fashion? First, find some outfits you love. Think about the colors, mood, patterns, textures, materials...
Outfits can inspire the patterns you choose to add and mix to your layout. Why not throw a little black and white stripe in with a colorful layout (or outfit)?
If you don't have a paper that matches a cool multi-colored pattern (like that amazing skirt), why not layer several different papers and embellishments to create a similar effect or color palette?
The textures and materials used in an outfit can inspire your layout too. Maybe a layout will inspire you to add lace, gold, ruffles, pleats or pearls to a layout. However you do it, we hope Mandi's great fashion sense will inspire you to create something pretty.
