Going Green at TIOT

 Hi everyone, March is coming in like a Lion, we drove through heavy rain, hail and sleet on Sunday, mind you when we got home it was very cold but there was blue sky and a lovely pale sunset. Now there is snow on the way!

Our new theme at Try It On Tuesday is 'Go Green' - it's a challenge that can mean use green for your entry, recycle something or, of course, St Patricks Day.

I opted for using green 


I used a Carabelle Studio big stamp - inked with Distress Oxide ink then spritzed it with water before stamping.
I inked through some Carabelle studio stencils then added some stamped leaves too. The 'postage stamp' used two Carabelle Studio stamps and I used a quote stamp that has become separated from it's set.
The baby Owl and the branch are both from a That's Crafty set designed by Melina Dahl - I extended the branch.
Finally I spattered the DOx over the page.

Please take a look at what the Design Team have been doing.
If you are not sure of the rules and guidelines they are here.

I hope that you will also 'Go Green' for our TIOT challenge this time.

I am also joining in with....
 and
 Stamping Sensations March Challenge - Stamping with optional wings and tails 

Thanks for looking, Chris

I love all the layered green Chris. It reminds me of spring trying to peek its way through. And of course the owl definitely made me smile. I hope your lion weather improves. hugs-Erika

Your design feels multilayered even though it's rather flat in real life. You achieved a great effect with layers of stamping, stencilling and splattering.

A fantastic inspiration page for the new TioT theme Chris and a sweet owl image.
I've had a catch up this morning and I enjoyed see those photos of your walk.

Love this page. The green is quite subtle in that gentle background and then the various leaves are picked out in lovely shades of green. I love the touch with the owl. So sweet.
Hugs, Neet xx
