Feathered Friends at Try it on Tuesday

Hello and thanks for calling in, today sees the start of a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and for this fortnight it's Feathered Friends.  

It's been a while since I did a page in my little Journal that I started after doing Marjie Kempers online class,  and  I already had a spring coloured background of Wrinkle free Distress using Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Tumble Glass reinker. I've used an IndigoBlu stencil and the leaf elements from a Kay Carley flower set of stamps I bought a HS.  The stamped sentiment is from Artistic Outpost Serenity plate and the little bird is PaperArtsy, along with some random music script.

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

Have a great day,

Mid Post reminder for Little Things at Try it on Tuesday

Hello, I'm just popping in to remind you that you still have one week left to join our Little Things Mean a Lot challenge at Try it on Tuesday, so as long as your project is smaller than 4" or 10 cms, the we would love to see them.

I've covered a little white ceramic heart with a  napkin, I used Collage Medium to apply the tissue to the front and as it's flat on the back, used a piece of white felt  to hide the untidy edges, this also hides the ends of the hanging ribbon.  It was give a couple of coats of Paper Artsy Satin Glaze to seal it.

That's it for now, thanks for calling in, and have a lovely day.

Vintage Beauty

Well - they say better late than never and I'm just scraping in with this tag for Tag Tuesday - Faces challenge.  The image is from Oxford Impressions April in Paris set that hasn't been inked in a while.  I've used a Tim Holtz  floral stencil with crackle paste and when dry sprayed with Antique Linen and Tattered Rose before stenciling some script with Walnut stain.  The words were cut from a TH stamp.
Two post in two days - think I'm on a roll this week!

The choice of how you Go Wild is up to you - it can be Animals or  Flowers.
