A Traditional Christmas at TIOT

 Hello, we are getting into the Christmas mood at Try It On Tuesday with our new theme - Traditional Christmas Colours.

The Design Team are really are celebrating in style. 

I think of Holly and Ivy and big red ribbons to tie them together just like my Gran used to do. I missed out on the ribbon but added some Poinsettias instead

I combined three stamps from a new set by Crafty Individuals, designed by Isa, a member of the CI Design Team. I stamped and embossed them before using my watercolour pencils to colour them. I added some white pen for highlights and spatters using white and gold paint.

I used some music paper from a Christmas song and added lace for a background. A good old peel off provide the sentiment (got to use them up somehow!!)

The team at Try It On Tuesday look forward to using your project and welcome all kinds of art. If you want to put a modern twist on don't forget to keep the colours traditional.

Thanks for looking, Chris
