Welcome peas, to the weekly spotlight on a Pea project!
The intent is to highlight all the talent and variety of styles and projects on the board, recognize a deserving pea, and inspire our own creativity with challenges based on the project.
I really hope Peas will SHARE their creations with us - I will head to the Flickr gallery every week to choose a project, but will also keep my eye on the boards if Peas share their projects in other ways. I'd like to stay "recent" in these projects, but make no guarantees that I won't dive deeper into our past.
Please help me: if a Pea project catches YOUR eye and you think it deserves recognition, PM me and point me towards it!
Here is this week's pick, plucked from christinec68 's gallery of hard-to-pick-just-one... but this one came with a sketch so it got the nod
The amazing Luna by Christine C68, on Flickr
What is there NOT to love?
- Multi-coloured, but she chose a calm pink background, and strips of pp with a white background to allow the colours to work to their best advantage.
- Notice how she placed the dark blue hearts at the bottom, and added the single strip of navy pp - those two things totally GROUND the page!
- The title within it's own matted "spot"
- Using a single NAME as a title
- Keeping the photos to the smaller size suggested in the sketch...a big failure of mine is that I frequently use 4x6 instead of the smaller sizes suggested on a sketch. Using the smaller photos gives more "white" space and the eye can process the design that much more easily.
What I'd suggest as challenges this week - you can earn 10 bonus points if you complete TWO of these on a page or project (if you belong to a challenge team):
1. create a multi-coloured page/project, at least 5 colours (don't have to be overwhelmed by each of them, splotches will do!)
2. use this sketch!
3. use a NAME as a title
4. use a matted circle to house your title
5. use a pink background
6. use photos SMALLER than 4x6 only
