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 06.09.23 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.



All Good Things by Mielz

All Good Things by Mielz creates a dynamic abstraction of leaves and paint that gracefully plays along the edge of the design. A torn paper edge traps the beautiful artistry in place. Subtle watercolor washes are sprinkled with salt sprays and create transparent layers over text. Warm oranges and reds contrast with the inverted silhouette leaves. The pressed leaves create dimension that are stapled into place. Word strips add a delicate title and focus for the theme as artsy lines and splatters create movement and energy.

Thank you, Mielz, for sharing your stunning and inspirational artistry.

IDEAS TO INSPIRE: Use ONE or MORE of the following in your AnnaLift layout.
  • Create a thematic border-flowers, sports, seasonal . . .
  • Place the photo in the border or work without a photo . . .
  • Use multimedia elements instead of a photo . . .
  • Add artsy transfers and stains . . .
  • Use an analogous or monochromatic color scheme for unity . . .
  • Add buttons and threadz for accents . . .
  • Use wordart strips for artsy titles . . .
PRODUCTS TO INSPIRE:

ArtPlay Palette Eunoia
ArtPlay Palette Bask
Multimedia Flowers No. 13
Artsy Transfers MiniModish
Excerpts No. 2
Potpourri Pieces No. 1
Corner Slit Frames No. 2 (because I have the hardest time with no photo designs)


Upload your page by Friday at 8:00 pm (EST) with the title, ‘AnnaLift ’ and one page will be randomly selected to win a $5 GiftKard to Anna's store. The winner will be posted here on SATURDAY.

Hint: Multiple entries are welcome! Use a separate post - number for each!

We hope our AnnaLift inspires your creativity. You know we always LOVE to see how you ArtPlay.

Thanks for ArtPLAY-ing with us!

I had a lot of photos and really needed to do a page about our new grass. I started by removing a bunch of fotoblendz from the templates so there'd be white space on the left page. I used threadz and word strips, and stain on the black frame. All of that green made this layout pretty close to analogous :p .
