Try It On Tuesday - basics!

We're going to basics today at Try It On Tuesday with our new theme - 'Words and Numbers'.
The Design Team have made such fabulous examples for this theme - please take a look here.


I used Aall and Create stamps and stencils for this page.
I did some gelli plate 'stamping' and also spritzed distress oxides on my stamp before stamping. Lots of random stamping here too, as well as a complete words and image stamp.
I also cut up a tag to make a pocket to hold the 'Good things take time' quote because a butterfly life cycle is worth waiting for the end result.

The TIOT challenge runs for the next two weeks and we would love to see what you make with 'Words and Numbers'

I am also joining the 'Pockets and Tags' theme at Art Journal Journey which is Alison's choice this month.

Thanks for looking, Chris

  11. How clever, Chris. The colors are bright and happy and the numbers coming out of that typewriter are great. I especially like how you used the tag and were able to share it with us at Art Journal Journey using Alison's theme. Fabulous stamping, too.

  12. What a good idea to combine a tag by using it as a pocket and fulfil the whole criteria of Alison's challenge.
    I love that typewriter, not a stamp I have bought - as yet.
