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 07.16.21 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.
In this Challenge, use artsy techniques and photo effects in your art journaling or memory pages:
Queen Anne's Lace by Mielz
In Queen Anne’s Lace, Mielz captivates with the delicate dried remnants of Queen Anne’s Lace. Plucked from a wayside path, the delicate lace has dried into beautiful artistry. Deep gold neutral tones are accented with green, white, and black. Heavy textures of impasto paint are embedded with tattered burlap. Mielz creates a contrasting border of white to frame the image. Dried lace, scripted text, bricks and paint combine with a simple beaded title to construct a piece that is magic. Mielz creates an artistic and stunning design to inspire our artistry.
Tweets of Summer by Pam P
In Tweets of Summer, Pam P captures the light of a golden afternoon. Downy sprigs glow in the afternoon sun. Neutral tones of gold and brown receive accents of deep violet and green. The photo splashes out of multiple frames. Brush work of leaves and birds accent the frames. A delicate spray of greenery adds contrast to the embedded leaves. The title appears to be scratched into the impasto layer of paint on the ground. Pam P creates a stunning design to inspire our artsy storytelling.
Thank you, Mielz and Pam P for sharing your expressive and inspirational artistry.
