Rainbow Colours at TioT

 

Our new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is Rainbow Colours.

I've used the large flower from Visible Image - stamped onto white card and then I stamped again onto watercolour paper and fussy cut just the bloom, and then dropped  rainbow colours of diluted ink.  Before attaching the bloom I splattered the same colours onto the white card base.

If you head over to the main page, you'll see a lovely array of rainbow coloured projects from the Design Team.

Have a great day, Avril x

Use a Stencil at TIoT

 Our new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is Use a Stencil - a great way of adding interest to your cards..

I've used a mop up background and then used  White Gloss Embossing paste through a Wendy Vecchi stencil before stamping my Freesia image which was coloured with Distress inks and pencils.

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

Well, I was already for a catch up and then bang - Sciatica - can't put my foot down, can't sit, so my apologies for lack of visiting - again.

Spring at TioT

 Spring is the new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and we would love to see your Spring themed projects.

I have used a gelli plate background with fresh spring colours and as there's quite a few daisies showing in the lawn, I decided that's what my TH wildflower die cuts would be, just colouring the centres and leaves.

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

Things have been very quiet in the craft room, in fact this is my first actual make of the year and I've not done any visiting, but hopefully I'm on the mend and will be catching up with you (and real life) soon.

Take care and have a great day.

Animals/Birds/Creatures/AG at Stamping Sensations

Good morning, it's the first Sunday of the month and that means it's time for a new challenge at Stamping Sensations - lots of scope this month with a theme of Animals/Birds/Creatures as well as the Anything Goes option.

I didn't get to 'play' with my Lavinia Pheasant before Christmas so time to remedy that, and put one in the box for next Christmas!  I inked the sky with Distress Oxides and then using Black Versafine, built up the scene using various Lavinia Stamps trees and finally added the pheasant and lots of glitter.

The rest of the Design Team have some great samples for you, so please pop over to the main challenge page for all the details, plus there's some fabulous prizes on offer.

Have a great day, Avril x
