Halloween at TioT

 It's time for a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and this time it's Halloween.

I've used a Lavinia Scenescape paper, part of a recent win at We love Stamping challenge. My witch, cauldron, cat and owl are also from Lavinia and the branches are Inkylicious. There's lots of sparkle from the spells being brewed in the cauldron and sparkly spirits hiding in the trees, but if course you can't see in the photo.

The rest of the team have lots of spooky inspiration, so please pay a visit to the main challenge page for all the details.

Thanks for calling in,

Mid month SS - Autumn

It's time for mid month inspiration for the current challenge at Stamping Sensations where this months theme is Autumn or you could always follow the A/G route if you prefer.  Don't forget, there's a £25 store voucher from Personal Impressions for 1 lucky random winner

Autumn and the changing colours of the leaves was my inspiration and I've used stamps from Lavinia to create my oak leaf wreath, along with a few acorns, which were fussy cut and layered  with 3d foam to give a bit of dimension.  All colouring was done with Distress inks.

Don't forget to pop over to the main challenge page where's there's a wonderful array of Autumnal inspiration for you, along with all the challenge details.

Hope you have a lovely weekend, I'm off Pumpkin picking with the twins today and then no doubt Grandad will probably get the pumpkin carving job!

Autumn Colours at TioT

 Our new challenge this fortnight at Try it on Tuesday is Autumn Colours, I love the colours of Autumn and the changing colours of the leaves on the trees, so took that as my inspiration.

It's a long time since I made a page in any of my journals, it had originally taken me a long time to get started, and it turned out to be something that I enjoyed and now something that I miss doing.  It's something I don't think I'm particularly good at, but then I think it's just 'personal art' and hopefully I'm among friends when I show it.

As I said, it's a long time since I did any and this page was already gessoed over random torn script.  I've used some neglected images, my lady was stamped onto tissue before adhering to the page, before  stencilling the training leaves and then adding already inked die cut leaves and stamping directly to page, the Autumn quote.

The rest of the Design Team have some glorious Autumn coloured inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main challenge page fort all the details.
