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 06.04.21 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.

Felsőtárkány by Dorci

In Felsőtárkány, Dorci creates a gorgeous design dominated by layers of textures and stacked images. She has chosen idyllic scenery for her design. Each image is flawless in light and color. Each receives a unique frame and stacked papers. Neutral colors of blue, gray, and brown are accented with soft yellows. Textures of lace and scripted text lead the viewer through a visually exciting ground. The butterfly, the flower and the buttons accentuate and add dimension. The title is a tall clean font with a scripted date . Dorci creates an artistic and stunning design to inspire our artsy journaling.

A delicate shadow echoes the branches that provide a perch for the birds. isDK creates a stunning design to inspire our artsy storytelling.

Great choices to lift - I love these designs. It is quite difficult for me to get this look - may keep trying!
Great pages! The clusters work to create visual interest around the photos and are super ways to continue the theme! I love the use of the color scheme group at the top!
