February Challenge - "WhiteSpace"

Hello, Anupama here!

I am excited to be hosting my first ever challenge at Berry71Bleu. The theme for this month is 'White Space'.

WhiteSpace is defined as
 the portion of a page left unmarked or blank in visual arts. 
I love using whitespace (or negative space as some may call it) 
in my design as it adds an edge to the page composition! 
I am a trained interior designer and have always been impressed by stark minimalism. I guess that the same design sensibilities have spilt over into my scrapbook pages. 

So here is a chance to come out of your comfort zone!

Go ahead and play with space...

You would be surprised by the results -

Always STUNNING!

Our Sponsor for this month's challenge is UHK Gallery

Love is in the Air

The 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive the Dreamer Collection from 7 Dots Studio.

Here's what I made with Marivic's gorgeous tag and the 'whitespace' theme -

Marivic's Vintage tag set the mood of the page and I chose to scrap a picture of my mom from the early 1960s when she was a young teen growing up in India.

To balance the ornate tag, I applied glimmermist on the other side with a paint brush and a mask. Script stamps and butterfly washi tape complement the stenciling.  

Instead of treating the chipboard with wet media, I opted for washi tape and chalk edgers to cover the frame.

I can't wait to see what you create!
