Going Round in Circles at Try it on Tuesday

It's time for a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and this time it's Going Round in Circles.

I tried the Bokeh technique using Brilliance Moonlight White ink for my circles through a stencil.  

I stamped  Lavinia's Lupin and masked him off before blending Wilted Violet and Broken China DIs, then used the white ink for the circles.

It looks as if Lupin is confused and wondering where these circles have come from.

I will decide on a sentiment later.

The rest of the team have some great inspiration, so please pop over to the main blog for all the details.

Thanks for calling in, Avril xx
 

Garden Delights at Stamping Sensations.

 

We're mid way through the September challenge at Stamping Sensations and this months theme is Garden Delights.

I've used an old Tim Holtz stamp and die set - (I'm determined to ink up some neglected stamps) on an Oxide inky background and because I coloured the flowers with Sparkling H20's (another rarely used item) I splashed some gold ink stain to lift the background, along with a watery mix of gold to ground the flower jar.

The rest of the team have some great inspirations for you, so please pop over to the main blog where you will find all the challenge details.

Fantasy at Try it on Tuesday

 The new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is Fantasy, so you can let your imagination run wild this fortnight.

That's just what I've been doing lately - until about a year ago I only had one set of fairy stamps, which had been a magazine freebie, but since the twins, I've now accumulated quite a few Lavinia stamps.  To make sure that they do get used, I decided to make a little journal/story book, this is and will continue to be a work in progress.

My little story is based on 4 little rabbits that discover a cave and journey into fairyland and their adventures.  The pages are all double spread and feature the 4 rabbits somewhere and I've started adding the captions to fit the story.

                          

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

Thanks for calling in, it's Grandma duties today and a sleepover, so it will be later in the week before I get to catch up with you.

Garden Delights at Stamping Sensations

 It's time for a new challenge at Stamping Sensations and this month the option is Garden Delights.

I've used a neglected  Tim Holtz stamp, stamping different parts of this large stamp into each corner.  It looked quite bland, so I added some subtle stencilling along with one of the TH border stamps.

The rest of the team have some fabulous inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog where you will find all the challenge details.     There's also a prize of a £25 voucher from Stamp Addicts for a lucky random winner..

Thanks for calling in,
