All members that participate, can everyone PLEASE ensure that you read all the rules for this challenge
so that you can claim your challenge points. Thank you!
Welcome to 2025!! If you are a regular here, I think y'all know by now that I love art journaling. If you're new here, then welcome to Oscraps and the Artsy/Mixed Media challenge. This is one of my absolute favorite challenges to host.
We are starting the year out with a fairly easy challenge. No since making things hard right off the bat. For this month's page, I want you to create a page about 2025 and use at least three different types of artsy goodies on the page.. (Not sure what counts, I put a whole list of artsy goodies in the Rules section. You can find great artsy products in the Art Journaling and Photoshop Tools sections of the Oscraps store.)
This doesn't have to be a resolutions page although it definitely can be. This can be a page about your feelings about the new year. Happy? Scared? Worried? Create an art journaling page to express those feelings? Want to celebrate (or bemoan) a special birthday? Do it with art journaling. Maybe you have an exciting vacation planned. Create an artsy page about your excitement. This is about your 2025, so you get to decide the subject matter for you page. Just make sure your page is covered in artsy goodness. One little dab of paint will not due. It's time to get messy.
Here's my page.
Artsy mediums include stamps (the numbers and newspaper text), gesso, overlays, paint (border) and glitter. I also used an artsy background to increase messiness.
I look forward to seeing y'all's creations!
