Feminine at TIOT

We have a fabulous new challenge at Try It On Tuesday - Lovely Ladies - we are asking you to include a female (or more than one) image on your entry. There's a wonderful variety from the Design Team.

I made a journal page...
I inked the page using distress inks, then added some stenciling with an Aall and Create stencil. I also inked some multi surface paper with DIs and added more stencilling and stamped the large Tracy Evans flower.I deliberately didn't add too much ink to the stamp or press on very hard as I wanted this to be a background that didn't detract from the Stamperia image. I tore around the edges of both and layered them up with some ribbon, a cut out flower and some letters that had been in a box tucked away out of sight for a while.
I stamped Fearless - another Tracy Evans stamp that I felt appropriate for the image and the words.

I hope you can join us at TIOT this time - as usual it runs for two weeks from today - there are a few rules and guidelines here about how to enter.

I've just remembered I meant to enter this at Art Journal Journey and Mia's 'Flowers' theme!

Thanks for looking, Chris

I'm completely in love with this page - there's something so calming, and yet with a tinge of melancholy about the colours. The large flower, partially stamped and that beautiful face with its echoing daisies, and then the lovely flower head right at the centre. This is a version of pink/femininity that I can get on board with (where the bubblegum plastic pink forced on little girls these days makes me want to vomit!). Beautiful, subtle, powerful... that's a woman, for sure.
