February Kraft+ Challenge

 Hello & welcome to a new month of challenges. This month over at Kraft+ Challenges we have a colour challenge for you.

This month we want you to use with your KRAFT...yellow & red/orange. Minimal additions of black & white are allowed

When creating this mood board, I couldn't find an inspiration photo so used my own sunrise photo. I initially was going to scrap this actual photo for the challenge. Haha I certainly couldn't go wrong there with the colours, but after doing a tidy up of my ArtStacks products, found the perfect piece to use in my art journal. The inspiration for my art journal background came from this Deb Weiers piece. I just love her work! I scraped on the yellow and orange paint with a credit card and as some of it was Distress Paint, sprayed it with water to allow it to merge together. Because it got quite messy, I ended up mopping up some of the excess with the music paper I had sitting around. I had used it to cut out circles previously. At that point I figured it was the perfect addition to the background. I added lines of black paint and circles with the lids of the Distress Paint. I then added cup rings using Tim Holtz stencil and more black paint. I added a Tim Holtz Stencil Card under the Deb Weiers art piece and a Dina Wakley chipboard piece painted with more Distress Paint.

 

As I had previously said, I've gone a bit made with the cut pages and I thought this one worked perfectly with the wonky figure, especially with one eye peaking through. Haha this looks like a spine to me (LOL that may be more my daughters influence with her recent job ;)) but considering Deb's artwork says "our ancestors live in our bones"...it all made sense to me!!!

Pop over HERE to check out the amazing creations from the rest of the Creative Team. I do hope you'll join us this month. Thanks for stopping by, your support means a lot to me.

Happy crafting!
