Hello there everyone and a warm welcome to the September 2022 : Challenge #7 : Artsy/Mixed Media Challenge
I'm your happy to be here host Rhonda. :)

This is the first time I have hosted this challenge and I'm really looking forward to this. If you look through my gallery, it is not hard to see that I'm very much into Artsy/Mixed Media styles in my layouts. It's really where my scrapbooking heart is creatively. So I am really excited to be hosting this challenge for September.

Primarily Artsy/Mixed Media Challenges are all about brushes, paint, overlays, textures, gesso etc with some layering and blending too. The goal here is to have a variety of these items on your page, keeping in mind that there needs to be multiple items used and not just one paint splatter behind a photo. :)

Autumn/fall is my most favorite time of the year for many reasons. One reason is because of all the beautiful autumn/fall colors.

Challenge Rules: So for this artsy/mixed media challenge I would like to see the following:
  • a variety of autumn/fall colors on your page, like Red, Burgundy, Gold, Orange, Yellow, Rust, Amber, Teal, Brown and Green.​
  • at least one (1) leaf or leaves included on your page somewhere as well.​
  • at least one (1) large extracted person be it a photo/ character or image in a kit​
  • at least one (1) Title, Quote or WA


I have had some inquiries about this rule : so I'm gonna clarify a bit more here :​

Ladies, this challenge requires you use an extracted large person, either a photo or a character or image from a kit, or a stock photo. So please do not use any non-person characters to meet this particular requirement. I have updated the rule in the first post just to clarify it. Thanks so much....Rhonda... :) ...


I had fun creating my page: Autumn's Artistic Colors
For my layout I used a variety of the fall colors as mentioned above, and also used a mix of brushes, overlays & textures, along with several leaves as well. I included one large and extracted large photo and to finish off the layout I added a title, month WA and a quote about Autumn.




*There are so many wonderful Autumn Collections to choose from in the Oscraps Store.
I chose to create my layout with the following

*Autumn Artist Collection by ET Designs
*Color Crush 62 {Floral Grunge} Papers By Joyful Heart Designs
*Forgotten World By ViVa Artistry : (red flower : brightened & shadowed ]


RULES :
- Refer to the challenge rules above.
- Please use 80% Oscraps products that are currently in the store.
- Non-Oscraps products or retired O designer products can be used whether the designer is selling elsewhere or not.
- You need to credit all the products used on your layout.

Thank you.

I hope Rhonda doesn't mind, but I'm here and can answer this: An extraction is when you take out the background of a picture and "extract" the subject. Like this.

It says a large photo OR an extraction. You don't have to do the extraction, :)


Yes, thanks. I really just wanted to know what it was, and now I do.

I will have to hunt around to find a nice "large" photo - for now. Thanks again. :)
