Make someone smile at TIOT

Try It On Tuesday is back - with a new challenge - What a Cutie/Make Someone Smile. Your entry can be either or both!
The Design Team have made some fabulous examples so do please take a look!

Considering the grey skies of late here in the UK, the fires in Australia and the snow in the USA, as well as some very gloomy news items of late, we certainly could do with having something to smile about!

I used a Woodware Stamp - Sweet Tweet for my card, it was good to get my stamps out again!

I started by putting ink onto an acrylic block and spritzing before adding to the card. I used several colours, allowing them to partially dry before adding different colours.

I used a couple of stamps from the set and joined them by using a micron pen.
I stamped out one of the flowers and fussy cut it and added some stones on the ground.
All my colouring was using Faber Castell watercolour pencils and a water brush.

I hope you will join us at TIOT - as usual the challenge runs for two weeks.

Thanks for looking, Chrisx
