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 07.28.23 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.
Celebrate by marijke
Celebrate by marijke shares a charming portrait of a style-conscious child - complete with red sunglasses and summer hat! The photo illustrates a shallow depth of field which retains a sharp focus on the child as the ground becomes soft. Marijke has played to the elements of the photo with her beautiful blending. The edges are subtle and include brushes of pink and fabric flower transfers. Text brushes and transfers add hints of the story. The red of the sunglasses is repeated in paint and balloons. Bold red, turquoise, and gold complete the accents. An artsy wood title finishes the design story.
Thank you - marijke- for sharing your stunning and inspirational artistry.
IDEAS TO INSPIRE: Use ONE or MORE of the following in your AnnaLift layout.
ArtPlay Palette Wildflower
ArtPlay Palette Abrazo
ArtPlay Palette My Camera
