Are you ready for the MESSY winners from our 'A Beautiful Mess' challenge? I had such a fabulous time looking at each of your truly marvelous creations. I wanted to just find a prize for you ALL!!
Along the way... I realized the operative word for me would be 'beautiful'. A pretty mess or a funky mess would be totally different than a beautiful mess. So that helped with my final decisions! And here is our final Winner and Top Three!
The Challenge Winner is...
Jenny: Pushing the Right Buttons
YEAH!! How fun!!!
Jenny: Pushing the Right Buttons
YEAH!! How fun!!!
Jenny
"pushed the right buttons" in my heart! It's a Bodacious Summer
Sunshine Extravaganza! The rather messy, carefree background and the
rather messy 'doodles' on the flowers just translated to 'A Beautiful
Mess'. And the sentiment is very special; one we all should remember :)
And as this is the final challenge I am so lucky to be able to add a few more to my Top 3 (now 6) and here they are (in no particular order!)
I
was spell bound by Ruth's background - it has helter skelter bits and
pieces of everything in it! There were splashes and splatters, dents
and dobs all over it! And her flowers were stunning but the materials
she used for them was very messy in appearance. One beautiful flower
even had a leaf fraying!!! Just don't see how it could be much messier
in such a truly beautiful way.
Forgive
me Branka but all I know to say is that this is just: 'A Beautiful
Mess'! The vivid colors and the free spirit of this piece just made my
heart feel happy.
Sara Emily: Sara's Closet
Sara Emily: Sara's Closet
On
her entry Sara said: "A bit messy, even by my loose standards".
Heheheheh - I agree Sara!!! There is dimension and texture as well as
crackle, embossing, glitter, micro beads. All great BUT... there is
seriously nothing perfect about this creation. And THAT is why I can
say I adore it unconditionally - it's NOT PERFECT - it's a Beautiful
MESS!!!
Rupa: Together for Arts
Rupa
made this lovely creation out of a cardboard box! It is lovely and it
just makes me smile. The raffia roof is darling and adds to the charm
of this sweetly beautiful mess!!!
This
is Shirly's very first EVER blog post! WOW. And look - she even
included the brush that created her "beautiful mess". The background is
a modge podge of color that makes the artist pallet look just like mine
- messy!!! And those white messy lines are so fun as the border. As
an artist - this creation was splendid eye candy and definitely seemed
perfect for our challenge!

SUCH
WONDERFUL FUN! All my thanks to each one of you who submitted your
truly SPLENDID creations. They were each a joy to see.
Love to you all.♥ღ¸♪♫•*♥ Joi@RR
