Small Things at TioT

Small Things is the new challenge at Try it on Tuesday this fortnight, so I opted to alter a little chocolate box.

I gave the top a coat of Gesso to cover the printed description on the top of the box, leaving the gold edge.  I then made a template of the heart shape and cut the top layer from a printed napkin, which I applied with DecoArt Decou-page and that was it, very simple.

The rest of the Design Team have some great samples to show, so please pop over to the home page of the challenge.

Thanks for calling in.

Fantasy at TioT

Our new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is Fantasy, so I thought I'd show another page from the Fairy journal I'm making for the twins.

I've used Lavinia stamps to create the little scene of washing day, coloured with inks and pencils.

Just For You

It's mid month inspiration at Stamping Sensations for our Spring Mood board.

                             

 This time around I took the bird and Daisey for my inspiration and gave it a fun element.  After making the background I coloured and fussy cut the  TH Crazy birds, incorporating the pink and blue colours from the board.

The rest of the DT have some lovely samples for your inspiration, so please pop over to the main challenge page for all the details.

It's ages since I entered any challenges but Allsorts have a Spring themed challenge so I'm entering the fun over there.

Thanks for calling in,

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
