INTO THE WOODS - BERRY71BLEU

Happy Hello Artsy Friends!

 

Today I'm sharing my take on this month's fun filled "FOREST" challenge hosted by

  Tusia Lech over at Berry71Bleu....

I used the dark paper from 7 Dots Studio - Nature Walk - Perfect for this month's challenge!

The photo was recently taken by me at the local state park and you can see the sun peeking through the trees.....I added the sticker from 7 Dots Studio "Sunny Skies" among the various embellies!

I wanted to use dark background paper to add depth behind the photo - (as if walking deep into the woods) -  I then wanted to add accents of the colors in the photo - (blues/greens) - I used a variety of brands of mists, paints and inks to this mixed media layout....I was grabbing "similar" colors as in the photo.

 

   Below is the beautiful "Forest" themed mood board:

Check out the wonderful prizes for the September challenge!!!!

YELLOW BUTTERFLY - BERRY71BLEU

Happy Hello Friends!

Today It's my turn to share my take on this month's fun and beautiful "Yellow" challenge for Berry71Bleu!  I made this mixed media canvas for a friend.  She recently celebrated her birthday and I figured a "Summer" theme canvas would be a perfect gift!

I added the beautiful chipboard supplied to the design team by Blue Fern Studios! Thank you!

I cut the the  intricate scroll-work chipboard piece and off set it below the photo.

I surrounded the photo with the beautiful chipboard butterflies!

I added various soft pastel colors to accent the soft yellow hues!

I used Tattered Angels mists and various brands of water colors.

Check out the gorgeous yellow mood board for this month's challenge!
Stop on over at Berry71Bleu for some more beautiful inspiration!

Try to add other colors, yellow - very universal and provocative color! And in the shades of honey can make a very delicate projects! You can create cards, layouts, mixed media projects, tags, altered projects and more!

We'd love to see what you will come up with for this month's challenge!!!

Check out the gorgeous prizes!

EARTH WITHOUT ART IS JUST EH - BERRY71BLEU

 Happy Hello Friends!

Today I'm sharing my take on this month's challenge "FLOWERS GALORE" over at Berry71Bleu click here!!!

 

 

I was inspired to use a photo copy of a sketch I recently created....The sketch fits this month's mood board perfectly.....The photo image shows many flowers surrounding her head piece and I extended the flower bouquet above the image with various flowers, flower buds, and painted petals....

Since the image has bright, vibrant colors I wanted the background work to be dark and distressed with hints of reds, oranges and teals....I was going for artsy/grunge on this layout....

 

You can get a closer look at the little swing and birds on the branches in the below photo....Thank you, "Scrapiniec"click here for the beautiful chipboard! (The "swing" is to the right of the photo)

The beautiful teal and black paper was generously provided by this month's sponsor "7 Dots Studio"click here...Thank you!!!!

I absolutely love the saying "Earth without Art is just eh" by Scrapiniec Chipboard....So true!!!!

 

Here is some inspiration below and you still have some time to join us in this month's fun challenge!
