Collage Packs - New Item in my Etsy Shop!

NEW to my Etsy Shop!

I opened VIDA DESIGNS, my online paper supply store more than three years ago! Time flies when you are having fun I guess! After years of buying, collecting, sorting and organizing paper I find I have so much stuff. Lots of what I have stashed away is just fantastic but severely random! I decided to start sharing some of my fantastic paper stash by putting together paper packs for collage artist and scrapbookers. I think I like picking out papers and making a "composition" from all the peices probably more than people like using them!! They are so beautiful they are hard to sell. I just want to look at them. Um - does that make me crazy?!! :)

Here are a few....... click on the title of each to view them in my shop.

"In the Garden"

 "Around the World"

"Natural Chic"

"Color is the Spice of Life!"

These packs are stuffed full of all types of wonderful papers!  Collage packs include some of the following:  book pages, wallpaper, cards, foreign language text, vintage textbook pages, magazine clippings, die cut shapes, vintage sheet music, tags, envelopes, maps, designer scrapbooking papers, cardstock, woven grass papers, fabric sample cards, handmade papers, photographs or chipboard.

INSPIRATIONS

Sometimes I like to wander through ETSY-land letting my mind go blank until I find an image that stuns me.  

I am drawn to work that is abstract, colorful, bright, edgy, provocative, highly textured and dramatic. I love the way that a work of abstract art could inspire and move different people in completely distinct ways.  Abstract work is always totally open to personal interpretation.

I was excited to get a space on the ETSY treasury so I could put together images of some of my favorite pieces of abstract art.  Here are some of my favorite images that I just keep coming back to.  For me, these are like eye candy for the art lover!  I just can’t stop looking.   These are my inspirations and a tribute to my fellow artists.
