Make a Mark at TIOT

Hi everyone! Our new theme at Try It On Tuesday invites you to make marks on your page, be they large or small, angular or curved!
The Design Team have had fun with this and we hope you do too!

Although it's not a competition to see how many shapes and marks can be made I do seem to have an abundance here!! 

I started with different coloured distress inks rubbed on to the page over a mop up from a stencil. I used a few stencils, some stamps, bottle tops and a little bit of doodling! 
My main flower is a Paper Artsy Tracy Scott stamp which I stamped onto the page and then stamped onto paper and fussy cut!
I extended the stem with a black pen.

 The words are by Tim Holtz and Art by Marlene.
I added some bees too (Indigoblu I think)

 I hope you are able to join us this time - as usual your entry an be in any form you wish - card, mixed Media, textile - just have fun with mark making!!!

 I am also joining Erika At Art Journal Journey and her 'In The Sky/In The Air theme'!

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    You certainly added a lot of marks to this journal page, dear Chris. I was totally impressed. LOVE IT. I can see lots of stencils, stamping, and of course, the bees that fit Erika's theme so well at Art Journal Journey, too.

    It's easy to get carried away with the stencils and things when doing a background but yours is not over-crowded, it is perfect. Love all the different colours you have used and one of my favourite designers flowers and, of course, bees. I have a thing about bees which is the emblem of Manchester.
    A great, bold, beautiful page.
    Hugs, Neet xx
