Childhood at Try It On Tuesday

It's time for a new topic at Try It On Tuesday - Childhood and we would like to see how you interpret this theme  - whether it be a Nursery Rhyme, back to school or playtime!

The DT have once again made some fabulous pieces to inspire you!

I took trip back to my childhood when I had my Mum's old books from her childhood to look at! 

Mabel Lucy Atwell illustrations always made me smile.....

....so I hope that this card will be a good way to send Get Well Wishes!
I started with some Distress inks in rainbow colours on my mat then spritzed and dragged the card across to pick up the colour.
I used DIs through a couple of stencils too to create a rippled reflection appearance at the bottom of the card.
I stamped the image onto the card then again onto some sturdy paper using my Stamp Platform.

As you can see this is my second attempt as I wasn't happy with the face!
I painted the image with Paper Artsy fresco paints while the paper was still in place on my platform.

This made it easy for me to stamp over the image in exactly the right place and fussy cut and place over my stamped image on the card.

This means that she gets to keep the wisp of hair!!!
Finally I stamped the cheery sentiment.....

....and added a few stickles raindrops.

I made this card when my arm was really aching and since then have gone back and dealt with the missing A!

I do hope you will join us at TIOT this time, as always there are two weeks in which to add your entry!

Thanks for looking, Chris
