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 08.27.21 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 memory keeping or art journaling involving water:
The Best Moments by FloridaGranny
In The Best Moments, FloridaGranny presents the exuberant joy and moments of quiet reflection of the beach. The focal image is blended into the design with subtle textural transitions. The solitary figure shifts from acrobatic flips to a moment of stillness as her attention is captured by the setting sun reflecting in the waves. Warm yellow contrasts with the cool grays. Touches of pink paint the sky. An elemental cluster of seashells accents the frames and title work. FloridaGranny creates a stunning memory design that shows the attraction and fascination of the sea to inspire our artsy memory keeping.
Raindrops on Redbuds by Lacy
In Raindrops on Redbuds, Lacy has captured a beautiful and perfect moment. The focal image has captured a brushing of water drops on a delicately veined leaf. The subtle transitions of yellow-green are repeated in a multimedia grouping of leaves and journaling cards The thread continues the flow and curve of the veins. The imagery is framed by a misty aqua ground. A scripted title and splatters of paint complete the artistry. Lacy has created a stunning design that brings the beauty of nature up close to inspire our artsy journaling.
This challenge presents two very different approaches to artsy memory keeping and art journaling.
Both capture fleeting moments involving water…
How will you be inspired?
