CHA Sneak Peek No. 2

As promised, here is the Sneak Peek at the second paperWERX Collection from Gen Simmonds... [drum roll please]

The Organic Collection

or·gan·ic –adjective: of or pertaining to the shapes or forms in a work of art that are of irregular contour and seem to resemble or suggest forms found in nature; developing in a manner analogous to the natural growth and evolution characteristic of living organisms.

Designed as a companion line to the paperWERX Cellular Collection, the Organic Collection is named for the lush, irregular and natural textures present in the design. It is a group of papers that can be used alone, or easily combined with the Cellular Collection [many other pattern papers from the paperWERX line and other mfgs] and provides a strong, textural foundation for virtually any paper arts project. Consider these ideas for using Organic:

  • a foundation for any scrapbook layout [of course!]
  • crop out Cellular circle pattern and layer onto Organic for a custom background
  • use in altered artwork to create a visually textured foundation for your design
  • add stamping to create YOUR OWN patterns on this visually textured paper
  • use in bookbinding project for covers to create a lush textural look without adding bulk

Organic will be available in 80lb acid and lignin free, 12x12 sheets beginning February 15. Pre-ordering from our retail store will start on February 5 and retail store shipping will begin February 21, 2007.
Here is your tasty Sneak Peek...
