Oh So Sweet at Try it on Tuesday

Our new challenge at Try it on Tuesday this fortnight is Oh so Sweet. 

I used an old Penny Black stamp and after Stamping in black, I made a mask to cover the girls before making the background. I made the landscape first using Distress inks and then stamped the trees and flowers using some Lavinia stamps.

The rest of the Design Team have some great inspiration for you so please pop over to the main blog for all the details.

Thanks for calling in.  Avril xx

Go Green at Try it on Tuesday

 Go Green is our new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and you can interpret this by using mainly the colour green or maybe recycling.

I've chosen the colour option and as I enjoyed getting back into my journal a couple of weeks ago, thought I'd try and continue with this page.  I've used a Studio Light stamped onto a page that was sprayed with Bundled Sage Oxide, I moved the colour around using a dry tissue.  I've coloured the flower heads with Twisted Citron DI and then stamped the wording.

The rest of the DT have some very varied inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog where you will find all the details.

I'm join to join in over at Art Journal Journey where Valerie has chosen the theme of Anything Goes.

I'll be around to catch up with you later in the week as it's Grandma duties with the twins today and tomorrow.

Let's Get Messy at Try it on Tuesday

 It's time for a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and this fortnight we're getting messy, so I decided to dust off my journal - I haven't done any journaling for ages and I really enjoyed making this page.

I started with a watery coat of gesso, then some ink sprays.  I stamped my image - Freya from Art Journey stamps and then added some torn napkin.  There's some random music script in the background to tie in with the words.

The rest of the Design Team have some very varied inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog for all the details AND some news - we have two new team members Pia and Viv joining us today.

I'm going to join in a Art Journal Journey with this page as it fits Erika's theme of Seeing Red.

I'll be around at the end of the week  - I'm only having one day off Grandma duties this week!  Hope I make it to Friday tea time.

Mid Month At Stamping Sensations - Anything Stamped with Option of Sketch

 

It's mid month inspiration time at Stamping Sensations, where we have a sketch option.

I've used Tumbled Glass for the inner and Chipped Sapphire for the outer shading, I used the mask again  so that my flower appeared to be peeking out of the circle.  I also stamped again onto white card and fussy cut the flowers and one of the leaves.

The rest of the DT have some fabulous inspiration, so please pop over to the main blog, where you will find all the challenge details and also details of the prize.

Thanks for calling in, have a great day.

All You Need is Love at Try it on Tuesday

 All You Need is Love is the new challenge at Try it on Tuesday, it can be any LOVE related project, so I've made an Anniversary card.

I began with a moon mask and I shaded with Tumbled Glass DI.  I then positioned my Lavinia hares so that they appeared to be kissing and stamped with Black Versafine, I added some greenery using Shady Lane Versafine Clair and a little bit of pencil work to 'ground' them.  The top layer was adhered with foam tape for a little dimension.  The Sentiment was stamped and heat set with silver EP.

The rest of the DT have some fabulous projects to show, so please pop over to the main blog for all the details.

Thanks for calling in, I'll be around later in the week as Gandma duties take priority - we're off to soft play this morning, hopefully it will tire them out and we might have a 'quiet' afternoon (I really don't know where they get their energy from).
