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 March 22, 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.
Year 8 - melscrap
Year 8 by melscrap creatively documents her daughter with a single, beautiful smile captured and framed. The portrait is placed against a neutral white ground. For emphasis, layers of brush work develop the numerical theme. There is a heavy or darker group behind the photo, and a lighter, number line that plays across the page. The colors of the photo are repeated in a combination of stains in black and washed red accents. Soft, muted colors appear as postage stamps from an artsy transfer. These are layered with torn and envelop-style paper textures for a visually dynamic ground. Touches of a scripted text hint at the journaling. The artistry is completed by a pop of red in the title and in paint splatters.
