Counting on a new theme for Try It On Tuesday

 Hi everyone, It's time for a new theme at Try It On Tuesday and it's 'Numbers'. There are so many ways to interpret this theme as you will see from the Design Team.

I have a journal page and I have added numbers in the form of a stamped Aall and Create clock by Bipasha as well as some added numbers and flowers using Aall and Create stencils.

I used Distress ink with the stencils and coloured in the image with Daniel Smith watercolours

I hope you can figure out how to join us at Try it On Tuesday this time. The theme runs for two weeks and you can find the Rules and Guidelines here

Thanks for looking, Chris

Make your own...

 Hi everyone, we have a new topic at Try It On Tuesday - we'd like you to 'Make Your Own Background'. You can see the variety here that the Design Team have made. 

I must say that this is something that I love to do, whether it's just spattering some paint around, smudging ink, using my gelliplate or, as I have done today, use one(or two) of my many stencils.

 I used a favourite Lavinia stamps stencil, masked off with some copier paper with a hole torn out of the middle. I added some sponged paint around the edge. The stamps are by Paper Artsy and Chou and Flowers.

I hope you will have fun when 'You Make Your Own Background' for our TIOT challenge this time, which runs for the usual two weeks.  

Thanks for looking, Chris

I would also like to enter at Art Journal Journey where Gillena has chosen a brilliant theme 'Trees Are Awsome  Aren't They?'
