'Dream Big' - with Emma Zappone PLUS VIDEO

Hello there!
Em with you today. Sharing my take on this months moodboard.
Plus I have a video for this one too 😀

I hope you enjoy the video 

This piece has many different products used together.
Starting firstly with the awesome Imagery Sheets by Lucky Findings 
I used one from the Monarch Blue sheet.

Then I started my background.
Choosing a Tim Holtz collage paper and of course a mix of 49 & Market Rub ons.

You can see the whole canvas come together in my video.

Still plenty of time to join in the fun with all the challenges here at ScrappingClearly.
So much to choose from, I'm sure your creativity will be flowing.

I will catch you all again very soon.
Happy crafting.

Em xx

Honouring the Earth

This mixed-media artwork is a vibrant tribute to nature, self-reflection, and the interconnectedness of all things. The composition seamlessly blends surrealism with organic beauty, reinforcing the profound message: “When we honour the earth, we honour ourselves.”

Key Features:

1. Striking Central Figure: The focal image portrays a woman adorned with lush florals and a tropical hat, exuding a sense of harmony with nature. Her mirrored sunglasses reflect palm trees, reinforcing the theme of environmental appreciation and mindfulness.

2. Rich Botanical Elements: Layers of hand-painted leaves, stenciled tropical foliage, and vibrant florals create a lush, immersive backdrop that brings the composition to life. The organic patterns soften the bold, modern imagery, creating a dynamic visual contrast.

3. Color Explosion & Expressive Textures: The background bursts with an energetic mix of blues, greens, pinks, and oranges, applied with loose, painterly strokes. These expressive textures evoke the raw beauty of nature and the creative spirit.

4. Typography & Message: The phrase “When we honor the earth, we honor ourselves” serves as a call to mindfulness and environmental stewardship, emphasizing the deep connection between nature and self-care.

5. Artistic Branding & Identity: The inclusion of Lisa Oxley, Curated Collective Creator (2025) reinforces the piece as part of a curated artistic journey, making it both a personal expression and an inspiring statement.

Overall Mood & Inspiration:

This artwork celebrates the beauty of nature and self-awareness
