Hi, welcome to the June Style Challenge! This month I would like you to create a mix of two styles ... artsy and minimalist.
Artsy background
Choose an artsy background paper or create your own artsy design on the paper using mixed media products. Some suggestions are:
If you would like to use some artsy paper from the store, check this huge selection HERE.
There is an ARTSY section in the store filled all kinds of goodies you can use...go check it out HERE.
Minimalist page design
Now you need to create your page overtop of the artsy background, using dimensional products, utilizing only a portion of the page, leaving lots of empty space, adhering to a minimalist (white space) type of design.
Maybe you might use one corner of the page or along one edge or place your dimensional products in the center. However you choose to design your page, keep in mind, you want to only use a small area, leaving lots of room to see your artsy background.
Here is my layout for the challenge.
I used the Full Circle Collab, using an artsy background paper and adding some overlays onto it before finishing with photo cutout and elements.
I can't wait to see what you create! Have fun with this!
