Hi and welcome to a new 'Hear My Voice' themed Mixed Media Challenge.
If you're not familiar with the 'Hear My Voice' Brand it's a monthly collaboration by Rachel Jefferies and Lynn Grieveson Designs.
Each month rich textures and unique digital artistry are created from a mixture of mediums to provide you with the right tools for expressing your thoughts and feelings through art journaling or mixed media scrapbooking.
This is a monthly space for collectors of Hear My Voice Digital Art to scrap their stash and get creative together.
First congratulations to the random winner of the July HMV collection @julianz!
In this month’s challenge we will explore the theme of “Masking”.
For this mixed media art journaling challenge, dive into the theme of emotional and psychological masks. These masks can serve as a way to navigate through social expectations, protect our vulnerability, maintain professionalism, or cope with life’s challenges. Your challenge is to visually explore these masks and the impact they have on your life, while also envisioning the liberation that comes with unmasking and embracing your true self.
When I first started working out at the gym, I hid myself in loose-fitting clothes, oversized shirts and baggy jogging pants. I couldn’t imagine myself ever working out in tight-fitting leggings and tops. However, I quickly transitioned from jogging pants to leggings, though I still paired them with oversized shirts. Eventually, a very hot summer encouraged me to switch to tops, first oversized, then gradually to tight-fitting ones. This gradual change made me feel less body-conscious and very liberated.
For this challenge create a mixed media page that represents the theme of “masking”. It can be a visual page, with journaling if you wish, and with or without a photo.
You can, but you don’t have to explain your “Masking”, you can just make it visual if you prefer not to journal with use of different types of masks, layering (each layer representing different facets of the masks we wear), textures that mimic the idea of masks, transparent materials like vellum (visualising dept and transparency), contrasting colours for duality in emotions, like bright being outward and dark being inward…
For my page I used Rachel’s and Lynn’s Hear my voice collection - 12 Masking. I loved adding the butterfly as a symbol for metamorphosis, shedding old layers (masks) to reveal one’s authentic selves.
This is a product challenge, and Hear My Voice Products need to make up 75% of the products used on your page, but you can use any Hear my voice collection or even a combination of collections that you wish.
See the notes at the end of the challenge for further product clarification.

"My journaling is hidden within the layers, I photographed my handwriting and created a digital stamp to add it to my layout, there's a tutorial for that by me here.
I was inspired by one of Lynn's word strips from the Masking kit, I cropped it so that just the phrase 'The Best You' was visible and my page is themed around a time I felt I was the best version of myself and some regrets I have now".
