Challenge Spotlight: Mixed Media<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today I’m showcasing one of the new GingerScraps Challenges<\/strong><\/span> for 2024. Interestingly enough, it’s hosted by a designer who was a guest at GS<\/strong><\/span> for many months before she made it her home: Sarapullka Designs<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. This is the inaugural month for the Mixed Media Challenge<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. So we’re seeing the very first layouts posted to the Gallery<\/strong><\/a><\/span>! Larisa<\/strong><\/span> (Sarapullka<\/strong><\/span>) has provided an artsy paper and a paper cut element as the foundation for this month’s Challenge<\/strong>; participants were welcome to add anything they liked, as long as it came from Larisa’s<\/strong><\/span> store<\/span>. They are required elements, which makes this Challenge<\/strong><\/span> an ideal one for my Individual Style<\/strong> analysis.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because this is a brand new Challenge<\/strong><\/span>, there were only 6 layouts in the Challenge Gallery<\/strong><\/a><\/span> this morning. I hope, by putting a spotlight on it, we can bring that number up before the end of the month – and we do have an extra day… As always, each layout appears here in the order it was uploaded, and is linked to the Gallery<\/strong><\/span> so you can get a closer look, and maybe leave some feedback for the Scrapper<\/strong><\/span>. Just click on the Scrapper’s<\/strong><\/span> user name and you’ll be teleported to the Gallery<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

AJsRandom<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is up first. She used the paper in the background and turned the paper cut into a blended overlay. The layout is simple in its design and compliments her photo very nicely.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I really like how trinanne<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has used the paper cut element like a black stamp against the paper background. Then she used segments of the paper cut, recoloured pink and green, to frame her photo. The addition of several artsy brushes and a simple cluster in one corner pulls it all together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is truly a mixed-media layout from lm44west<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. A simple still-life with the paper cut used as a stamp in black, a handwriting brush with gold leaf foiled to it and some subtle shadowing round out the design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alasandra<\/strong><\/a><\/span> went green! I’m adoring the blended daisy photo she’s layered over the paper and the 3D effect on the paper cut.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oh Mylanta!! This is stunning! Yvonne55<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has popped a blue paper into the background, added some crosshatched brushes over the required paper and those adorable little chickadees to the dried-grass paper cut. The extracted photo is the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And last, we have a layout from the Queen of Challenges<\/strong>, KatherineWoodin<\/strong><\/a><\/span> herself. To give herself lots of space for her diary entry, she greatly downsized the paper cut element and duplicated it to create a stamped border. She changed Blend Mode<\/strong> on the paper to bring out the pinks and blues hiding within. Her photos are works of art in and of themselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What do you think? Is mixed media a style you’d like to try? I think I might give it a whirl… I watched a Facebook Live<\/strong> on creating bokeh mixed media backgrounds for greeting cards earlier and feel quite inspired!<\/p>\n
