Happy December my fellow scrappers! Welcome to the December style challenge. Let's mix it up a bit and do a combination of styles this month. I would like you to create an artsy page with lots of white space. Use your art journaling supplies, show me some paint or gesso, perhaps play with blending modes, maybe attach some ephemera, BUT leave me lots of beautiful white space as well. Here's my page I hope you have fun with this. I can't wait to see your artsy-white space pages! As Always: Your page must contain at least 75% Lilypad product. Your page should be posted to the Lilypad Gallery and then linked to the December Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked, and to this thread. The Lilypad uses a percent system for our challenges; the number of challenges you participate in determines the store discount you will receive at the end of the month: 2 challenges = 10% off 4 challenges = 20% off 6 challenges = 30% off If you complete 7 challenges, you will receive a coupon for 30% off, plus you will be entered to win a guest spot on the Lilypad Creative Team! The first seven challenges will be posted on the first of the month; the eighth challenge is the BYOC challenge, which is posted on BYOC release day. Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges).
Here's my take on the challenge: I used gradient blending on the background, brushes to create the paint/gesso and the journaling lines, photo mask to create the yellow paint, and then I tried really really hard to keep some white space (I have lots of troubles with that style...)
