Hello and Happy New Year!
Hopefully we, at Kraft+ Challenges, can inspire you to create with us during 2023. As this month marks our 8th birthday, we thought it would be fun to revisit old K+ challenges. So for this month, chose an old challenge, any challenge from all the years of K+ and let it inspire you. It's that easy! It may be a challenge before your time with K+, or one that you really liked, or one that you simply didn't get to participate in previously...whatever the reason, let us know which challenge you chose.
I went back to December 2020, as I love a colour challenge and was also drawn to the leaf image in the top corner.
This was clearly one challenge that I truly did enjoy as I ended up completing 2 art journal pages for this original challenge. LOL so now I've done 3! You can find the original posts HERE and HERE.
Again I did an art journal page in my Dina Wakley Kraft journal. I've been hugely inspired by Niamh Baly and her amazing cut pages. I had started a number of the late last year, but hadn't had a change to get back to them. One of them ended up being perfect for this challenge with the green leaves in mind.
I had used the fern stencil by Dina Wakley to cut out my page. This was my 2nd attempt, so I now knew to connect the leaves to add strength across the page. I painted it a couple of different greens, including some gloss spray. I roughly added lines around the leaves and veins with various green paint pens. Finally adding thin strips of the woven paper to match the bottom inspiration image.
On the main page, I've used one of the tissue paper girls from ArtStacks Designs after layering down some paint (Dina Wakley) and painted stencils (Crafters Workshop and Kaszazz). I've used more of my homemade transparencies.
You can find the full inspiration blog post from Kraft Plus Challenges HERE, it's worth a look, the DT as usual, outdid themselves #bestteam
I do hope you'll give this months challenge a go.
Thank you for stopping by, it's always appreciated.
