Hi friends!

Hope you are doing well :)

All the details about the Challenge can be found on the Lindy's Gang Blog.

Lindy's Gang October 2020 Color Challenge

Color Palette Guidelines: Aqua – Grey – Magenta

To enter the Color Challenge you MUST use at least 2 colors from the monthly color palette and as always you may also use black, white, neutrals or metallic colors as well! We are finding that there are so many amazing artists who are joining our challenge, that we can’t keep up with choosing winners! So, we’ll still have 5 winners of $50 gift certificates to Lindy’s, (sometimes more if we get tons of participants), and of those, 3 projects will be picked by Lindy’s for style, linking, etc, (the details are below) and 2 will be randomly drawn. Hopefully more people are encouraged to enter and we’ll get even more gorgeous projects! We just love sharing the Lindy love & thought this would be a great way to do it without anyone feeling intimidated.

For the challenge inspiration, I've created Three Pairs of Earrings. I made boho beads using Lindy's Magicals & Sprays and then converted them to earrings. To know how to create Boho Beads using Lindy's, please click HERE.

Lindy's Products Used:

Sprays- Gag Me With a Spoon Gray, Poppin' Pink, C'est La Vie Cerise, Merci Beaucoup Mint, Tilt-a-Wheel Teal

Magicals- C'est La Vie Cerise, Bougainvillea Fuchsia, Gag Me With A Spoon Gray

Three Pairs of Earrings

Thanks a lot for your precious time :)

Stay Blessed!

Post 232: Mixed Media Layout: Beautiful

Hi Friends :)

I'd like to share a Mixed Media Layout titled "beautiful" today. The sketch and colors of my layout are influenced by the Dusty Attic Moodboard for July. I loved those colors :)

Process:

I found this really beautiful and powerful image of a dancer with fire coming out from her. So decided to make a layout around it.

I altered the Dusty Attic Chipboards by embossing them, to add color, dimension and shine :) the feathers were attached to the dancer's photo to depict flying, she almost looks like a modern angel to me! The paradise bird chipboard was embossed in multiple colors to add interest. I added thread at some places for texture. At the bottom of the photo, I've added strings of thread and beads, I think it almost looks like a dream catcher :)

I thought about what secondary sentiments to add and then decided to add words associated with true beauty; #authentic, #amazing by stamping and genuine, artful, soulful and creative with stickers.

I've done stenciling with distress inks and background stamping. Layers of colors were added using acrylic paints and zig markers. In the end, I created some splatter of gesso and ink.

Here are a few close-up photos of the layout:
