*NEW* AnnaLift (6.28.13-7.4.13)

[tylertooo]

Hey Everyone!

It’s Friday and time for another challenge from Anna Aspnes.

Each Friday the AnnaTeam selects one creative page from the Anna gallery as the weekly ‘AnnaLift.’ Check out the inspiration page and decide what speaks to you. Is it the design, the color, the wordART, or maybe the photo? Choose ONE idea from the page to lift or choose it ALL and lift it completely. There is no right or wrong way to ArtPlay. Be inspired and create your ‘AnnaLift’ and then upload your page to the Anna gallery. Upload your page by Thursday 7.4.13 by NOON EST with the title, ‘AnnaLift ’ and one lucky participant will be randomly selected to win a $5 GiftKard to Anna’s shop. The winner will be posted each Thursday here in the forum.

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.

This week the Anna Team selected this gorgeous page, ‘spotted.’ by nia as the inspiration for the AnnaLift.




So much that is wonderful about this page, ‘spotted.’
- a dark rich color
-fabulous brushwork of color
-the hint of a frame, softly blending into the background
-wonderful layers of elements, so perfectly placed
-repeating dot patterns found in the photo
-a wonderful piece of art

What creative ideas will inspire for you this week in the AnnaLift challenge? Maybe you’ll choose:
-a beautifully blended photo attached to that perfect fotomask
-a repeat of a pattern
-dark rich colors
-a bold frame so perfectly blended
-whatever inspires you from nia’s wonderful page

We can’t wait to see all the fabulous and creative AnnaLifts and we invite you to share your ART with us in the Anna gallery. Thanks ‘nia’ for sharing your gorgeous page with us and inspiring us this week.

Beautiful choice, very inspiring! I love the simplicity here, playing only with brushes and blending modes. I might be doing some more layouts...

Time flies

Here my take on the challenge. Ann

 

[Tamsin]

Loved Nia's page so much and all the other lifts that I was encouraged to give it a go. I liked the brown and red but ended up with brown and green. I had to go looking for spots and stumbled on the hipster fotoblendz. Thanks for the challenge.

 

[Bluetansy]

A brown teapot for me !

WOW girls - these pages are so great!!!

Even though I seldom use dark backgrounds in my pages, I had to lift this gorgeous page by nia. Here is my take on the AnnaLift:



Thanks nia, for the inspiration!

Here is mine...I loved the dark background and thought that was what I was going to use, but this paper kept calling to me, and in the end I decided I liked it the best...Lord knows how many variations I tried!!!! Does everyone make tons of variations or is it just me???? My inspiration was the fruity theme since these photos were waiting to be scrapped, and I loved the polka dots...
