Oh So Sweet!

Hi everyone, I'm not just talking about the chocolate you might eat this weekend - this is the title of our new theme at Try it On Tuesday.

'Oh So Sweet' has been interpreted in a few different ways by our Design Team, so I do hope you can take a look here(if you haven't already)

I bought this cute little creature stamp while in France and I used masking to create this little scene along with another Chou&Flowers set.

I used water colour pencils and a water brush to colour it. The sentiment is from a set I have had for ages and has separated from its packaging!

 Just by coincidence I came across this scrap of metallic paper and then made a bit of a hash rounding off the corners - the recipient is another crafter so I'm sure she'll forgive a bit of wonkiness!!

I hope you can find your sweet side and join us this time at TIOT, as usual the theme is open for two weeks. The Rules and Guidelines are here if you would like to check.

Thanks for looking, Chris

It's a bird!

 Hi everyone, after a break from art journaling (apart from my TIOT stuff) I'm back with an entry for Erika's 'Spring Birds' theme at Art Journal Journey.

As most of my journal page backgrounds are mop up pages I am making no exception here. The little bird is a Crafty Individuals stamp and I tried to brighten the page with a stencil and some bright paint. The words are Tim Holtz chit chat stickers.

Since I broke a bone in my foot and damaged my elbow last June I have been keeping a Daily Journal.

Here are some of my pages all ready to write in

I hope to have another Spring Bird page ready soon!

Thanks for looking, Chrisx

 

Rainbow Colours

 Hi everyone, I can hardly believe it's April already and we've been enjoying some sunshine(even though there was a nip in the breeze over the weekend)

We're ready for those April showers this time at Try It On Tuesday with our new theme "Rainbow Colours' - we have lovely cheerful examples made by the Design Team - please take a look here.

I have made a journal page - which started out with a mop up of some paint after making something else.

I dipped a lid into the paint and made some large swatches down the side. The water coloured ladies are from a Paper Artsy stamp designed by Kate Crane, I also added a little stencilling using one of Kate's stencils. 

The words and flowers are by Tim Holtz.

Finally I did a little markmaking to fill in a few gaps. 

I hope you will join us this time at TIOT with your 'Rainbow Colours', as usual the theme is running for two weeks. 

Thanks for looking,Chris
