With the recent announcement of the new M3: Mixed Media Monthly I thought this would be a great theme for the product challenge this month. Product: Mixed Media I love the whole artsy-ness to mixed media pieces and how they can be used for a variety of things and in a variety of projects. So this month lets see what you can do with some mixed media pieces. We have an entire category, called ART JOURNAL, in the store filled with wonderful and beautiful mixed media pieces One from me using the new M3 august kit and add ons Remember to follow the challenge guidelines - Your page must contain at least 75% of Lilypad product. You should post your layout in this thread, as well as in the September Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked! And of course, your page should be posted in the Lilypad Gallery so we can leave lots of love! 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 all 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 six challenges will be posted on the first of the month; the seventh 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).
I'm not that great with the art journal style, but I did use all three of Lynne-Maries M3 add ons & made a page in my style.
My dd drew the sketch that she didn't submit in the end for the competition: Viaggio tra le stelle (traveling through the stars) and I absolutely loved it, so scrapped it in order never to lose it. I think she should have submitted it.
This started out being a very simple layout on a white background with very little embellishment - then I had a slight change of heart (and style...)
