Flying High at Try it on Tuesday

We're Flying High with our new challenge at Try it on Tuesday this fortnight. Lots of choice and I did have quite a few different ideas but ended up going for butterflies.

My tag started as a piece of sprayed card that had been in the 'backgrounds' box for a while.  It already had some random script stamping but wasn't big enough to make a card, so I cut it to a tag shape.  My butterfly was cut from a TH Bigz die and matching EF, I coloured it with similar pink shades and then used Gilding wax to highlight the raised areas and dabbed on some gold stickles. To add some interest I cut and coloured some TH Wildflowers but felt as if it still needed something, so used the TH Wildflower stencil and white texture paste as a base for flowers and butterfly.  I added a sentiment which came free with a magazine.

The rest of the Design Team have some great inspiration, so please pop over to TioTs, where you will find all the challenge details.

Sports and Hobbies at We Love Stamping

 Good morning and welcome to a new challenge at  We Love Stamping where I'm pleased to say I have been asked to be part of the wonderfully creative Design Team.

The theme for this month's challenge is Sports and Hobbies - or you can always follow the Anything Goes option.  

My little Dancer is one of the new Andy Skinner stamps, she was stamped with Versafine onto a gelli print and I've used the bleach technique to bleach out her skin, which was then coloured with pencils. I've added a little more colour to her dress and wings and then applied Stardust stickles over the wings, which of course doesn't show in the photo.

The rest of the Design Team have some great inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main challenge page where you will also find details of the fabulous prize of 2 stamps from Visible Image.  Just remember you must have some real stamping on the front of your project as well as brief details of the products used.
