In The Rain at TIOT

 Hi everyone! Don't be fooled by my blog post title - our new theme at Try It On Tuesday is 'Keep It Simple'. and it just happens that my journal page has rain in it!

The Design team have all been keeping it simple - please take a look here.

My A5 journal page was so simple to make and could easily have been made on a greeting card.

I used water colour paint across the bottom of my page and I blew across it to make some splashes (I could have been more accurate if I had used a straw) 
The Mabel Lucie Atwell image is a stamp from The Artistic Stamper which I coloured with Polychromo pencils.

I used a Tim Holtz small talk sticker and another typed out on my Demo machine.
 I picked up some of the water colour and spattered a little over the page before adding the image and some pen drawn impact lines.

I hope you can join us at Try It On Tuesday this time with this simply great theme.

I have grandchildren who used to love jumping in puddles, but I think there is a puddle jumper in all of us.

Thanks for looking, Chris

    Adorable little one. I love the color of her poncho and so much fun jumping in the puddles.

    Very effective way to create splashy images! Cute little kid in the hooded cape, too.

    So endearing. I just love those Mabel figures, they take e back a long long time.
    I don't think even a straw would have been any more accurate than you got it, those splashes are pretty perfect to me.
    A delightful page.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    A fabulous page Chris, I love that image. Your 'splashes' are just right and it does look as if she has just jumped in the biggest puddle.
