Hello aArtists!
It’s time for another challenge from Anna Aspnes. The AnnaTeam selects a creative page or design concept from the Anna gallery as the ‘AnnaLift.’ Be inspired, create your own ‘AnnaLift,’ upload your page to the Anna gallery and include it here in this forum thread. Upload your page by Friday February 9, 2024 by 8:00 pm EST with the title, ‘AnnaLift. ’ One lucky participant will be randomly selected to win a $5.00 GiftKard to Anna’s shop.
HOW IT WORKS: On Saturday the AnnaTeam posts a creative concept from the Anna gallery as the ‘AnnaLift.’ Check out the inspiration and decide what speaks to you. Is it the design, the color, the wordART, or maybe the photo? Then enjoy artfully playing—there is no right or wrong way to ArtPlay.
Choose ONE idea to lift or choose it ALL and lift it completely. Be inspired, create your ‘AnnaLift’ and then upload your page to the Anna gallery, plus include it here in this forum thread. It would be great if you could link back to your page in the gallery too!
Anna’s products mix well with so many kits/designers and Anna welcomes you to include these with your Anna Products on your AnnaLift page.
If you’ve never challenged yourself to an AnnaLift—just do it!
If you’ve never posted or shared your AnnaLift—just do it!
If you have time to leave some love for someone in the gallery—do it too!
(Your kind words may inspire and encourage someone!)
Please post your art in this thread and link to the Anna Aspnes gallery to win the $5 giftcard.
The Real Story by Sylvia
In The Real Story, Sylvia creates a design that features a happy, young couple. The focal image fills multiple frames for visual impact. The black and white photo has accents of red that flow and accent the tie, the hair, and geometric shapes. The image is repeated in a watercolor fotoblendz for a distressed and blended effect of transfers and artsy strokes. The title and the journaling continue the red touches. The journaling questions the reality of the idealized couple and questions the truth. The suggestion is a cautionary thought against the illusion of perfection. A thought provoking design with multiple techniques to inspire creativity.
