Fingerpointing – November 15th

Hello and happy Tuesday! I’ve been searching the galleries since last night, looking in awe at all the wonderful layouts in them. I finally had to choose only 6 and I think I’ve narrowed it down to my faves. The exceptional art I see in digi land is just amazing. I know I’ve said it before but I think with the quality of kits being produced, it is so easy to make awesome layouts. I chose these layouts not only for their beauty and creativity, but also for the really cool papers and elements that I found.

With no further ado…here are my picks for today!

I saw this in the gallery and said “WOW”.  Cinna has done such a fantastic job here. I love the torn paper at the top and bottom that frames the background paper. And I LOVE that graphic and script background. The soft grey enhances the other colours and the paint and brushes are great here. They add some texture but don’t take away from the main focus; which is that beautiful photo. The addition of the definition to the side of the photo is perfect and the title matches the grunge of the background. Just fabulous!

All those who know me, know I am a sucker for a large photo layout. This is no exception. What Magaline Azaline has done here is exceptional! That photo is OUTSTANDING! What a beautiful little girl. I want to know more about her. The treatment on the photo is gorgeous and her eyes just pop off the page. I love the clusters of flowers around her hair that looks like a crown and the little photo of her tucked in, is just so adorable. Just a beautifully done layout.

Marleen made a piece of art here. I love the way she manipulated the  brush onto the crumpled paper here. It’s genius. I love all the brush work and the stamps and the paint. The stitches placed just perfectly are awesome. I absolutely adore the message. I want to hang this layout on my wall in my home. It’s breathtaking.

When I looked at this layout, I had to look twice. I am a huge fan of Mother Bear and usually recognise Julie’s work right off the bat. Then I saw THIS. It’s such a different look for her and she nailed it! I really love the grunge mixed with the traditional and this is brilliantly executed. The title work, the papers, the stamps in the back so subtle but so right. As usual, the amazing shadowing and clusters. I couldn’t stop looking at it, there is so much to see.

I found this gem in the gallery and I had never seen this artist before. I don’t know why, because Saarmf totally blew me away with this layout. Again, the map backround (I sense a theme here lol) just adds so much texture to the page. The art journal style blended with the traditional is super here! I love that she kept the photo black and white but it still adds so much to the page. The shadowing is fantastic and the arrows placed around the page draw you in. I will be on the lookout for more from this artist…wow.

Rounding out my choices this week is this beauty by Tanpopowu. Can you say STUNNER? The colours on this page are so vibrant and they drew me in immediately. I love how the girl’s hat in the photo matches perfectly to the colours of the flowers and elements. As before, the printed background paper gives such depth to the layout without overpowering. The paint and brushes are amazing and I love the clustering at each corner of the right of the photo. This is just gorgeous.

So comes the end of another day of picks for me. I hope you enjoy them! As always, please click the links and leave these artists some love in the galleries. I bid you adieu, until next time….happy Scrapping!!
