 DT  REVEAL  

I prepared a layout called ‘Discover’ inspired by January challenge moodboard. The quote ‘HOPE grows everywhere’ and elephants on the photo reminded me about my honeymoon on Sri Lanka. It has been the largest trip in my life, full of happiness and HOPE. I discovered not only the different country and nature but myself during that trip. I used the nature theme presented on moodboard: stones, rocks and forest. I used the paper with stones and natural stones. I also added different leaves made of paper, chipboard and material flowers. I used fully the grey with blue shades color palette using scrapbooking paper in the background.

My Art journal page "If you choose hope, everything is possible." I took inspiration from our beautiful Moodboard this month and used some of the elements. Created the background with stencil and crackle paste, stamps and papers. Also I chose to work around our Moodboard colours grey, dark grey, teal and Mauve which are just amazing. We will start this year with Hope for normalcy.

I love all the different natural textures on the MMA January moodboard- the pebbles, the wrinkles in the elephants skin, the clouds in the sky. Together with the quote, it made me think about how winter may be cold and dark but nature is always waiting, sleeping until the warmer days when new life can spring from the soil. There is always hope that tomorrow will bring new possibilities.
I used lots of elements to recreate the textures including art stones, metal embellishments, chipboard and plant leaves.

Hope!!! What a powerful word... the best medicine for all in this pandemic. Let us all hope that 2021 is a better one, while we work for the best. Because hope lies in dreams, in imagination and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.

I prepared two balls for new year tree! A little paste, a little paper and flowers..

New Year - new luck and hope for something better. This is my new Art Journal for 2021. I love making my own journals. I sew covers, color the fabric if necessary, and decorate as I like.
I was inspired by the colors of the moodboard for January. I sprayed with 2 types of spray the fabric, sewed the covers, and painted with acrylic paints elements of chipboard. I used Stamperia papers and chose a great elephant tag. I used all the colors from the palette because they really combine very beautiful. 

I took the little chair, the lighthouse and the cobble Stones from the moodboard and created my canvas with these pieces in mind. Because of the lighthouse I wanted a sea theme canvas so I decorated it with more sea related items. The blue and gray colours are from the moodboard as well!
Hope that my project inspire you to make something beautiful!

Inspired by unique and amazing moodboard of this month, I have created a canvas layout to motivate you to never give up HOPE.

Hope is growing everywhere. Even in gloomy places where the sun almost never comes. There, even a drop of color is perceived as a holiday.

Do you feel inspired!
