Summer Days

 Hi everyone, I have a page to show you for the new theme at Try It On Tuesday'Summer' theme. I wish I could have a day like this, at the moment I am blaming St Swithun for our bad weather! 

The Design Team are also optimistic and have some lovely Summer inspiration for you here.


I used a lovely flowery napkin for my background then added some patches of Paper Artsy tissue that I had painted on the back with PA MattTints.

The image is one from Collage Soup, which I mounted onto hot pink card and edged with black.

The quote is part stamp, part my own handwriting and is taken from some John Denver lyrics - one of those songs that often comes to mind when out in the sun.

I hope you will join us at TIOT this month - especially when the sun shines.

I am also hosting at Art Journal Journey this month with my theme of 'Hot Summer' and would love to see your journal pages if you make them. (we only accept journal pages)

Thanks for looking, Chris

A fantastic summer page Chris, I can imagine the heat and sunshine, but that seems to have drifted away from northern U.K. for now. Love the image you used and the bright colours.

Your College Soup image make one smile, you cannot when yhou see such a beautiful smile on your page. Reminds me of the kind of image you would get in the 50's.
The napkin background is lovely and colourful to put us in the mood for your theme.
Thanks for a great theme Chris
Hugs, Neet xx
