Romance!

 Hi everyone, February has arrived and we are thinking of 'Romance' at Try It On Tuesday. Of course you don't have to send Valentine cards to be romantic, there are lots of romantic films to be watched that may encourage you to send a little message to someone!

The Design Team have some greta inspiration for you

I used some spritzed distress oxide inks to stamp the Funky Fossil hearts. I tore a tissue heart which I painted with Gel medium mixed with pink ink and then added some beautiful rose stickers, I added a touch of blue ink around the edges.

I hope you can join us at TIOT this time - the theme runs from two weeks.

Thanks for looking, Chris 

 

What a Night at TIOT

 Hi everyone, the title of our new theme at Try It On Tuesday might imply that we're party people, well some of us may still be! My idea of 'What A Night' is more likely to be early to bed with a good book!

You can see the Design Team's take on the title here! The Rules and Guidelines are here if you need to look.

I have a card with a mother owl and her offspring.

I made a background with dark shades of watercolour paint. Once dry I stamped the Crafty Individual owls and used watercolour pencils to give them a darker colour. I used a gold gel pen for the beaks and eyes. I extended the branch with a Pitt pen and then added some Lavinia Stamps branches and berries. The moon is from another Crafty Individual set and I added some Corrector pen stars (although I must say they look more like snowflakes)

This image reminds me of stepping outside the back door of my son's place in France in the late afternoon and seeing an owl staring down at us - we quickly retreated and left it in peace.

I hope you can join us this time with your take on 'What A Night', as usual we run this theme for the next two weeks.

Thanks for looking, Chrisx

Feeling Blue at TIOT

 Hello to you al! We're back! The Try It On Tuesday Design Team are here to start your New Year with our theme of 'Feeling Blue'. I hope you aren't feeling too blue now that the decorations are down and of course for some it's back to work!

I think our blues made brighten your day so please take a look here!

 I had some fun making this - water colour paint onto an acrylic block, spritzed and then pressed all over the centre of my page. I added some stenciling and then stamped the beautiful fantasy flower from Crafty Individuals (a Sharron Bates design). Next I added some random text around the edges of the flower and a little quote at the bottom.

As usual our theme is open for two weeks and if you need a reminder of the Rules and Guidelines - they're here.

I do hope you will join us this time at TIOT!

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

Thanks for looking, Chris
