Going Round In Circles

 Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying this warmer weather. Our new theme at Try It On Tuesday is 'Going Round In Circles' and as you can see here the Design Team have found lots of ways to do this.

I enjoyed working in the cool of my craft room to make this page. There's lots of stencil use, both through the stencils and reverse stencilling by painting the stencils and printing with them.


The stencils I used have been in my stencil box for years but the Funky Fossil stamps, paper and rub ons are fairly new. The paper is a substantial weight so to make things lighter I used clear tape to lift the top layer and add to my page.

I hope that you can join us this time at TIOT - as usual you have two weeks in which to enter. The Rules and Guidelines are here

Thanks for looking, Chris

Keep It Simple

 Hello everyone, we have a new theme at Try It On Tuesday - we're going to 'Keep It Simple' this time. The Design Team have some fabulous examples to share with you - please take a look on the TIOT blog. You will also find Rules and Guidelines there too.



I love a simple fix, and when left with a few strips of cut off paper, I decided to weave them together and arrange them over some randomly stamped letters and spatters. I added a Black Cockatoo as the recipient of the card is planning (at some time ) to move to Australia. All I needed then was to add a sentiment.

I hope you will join us at Try It On Tuesday this time, as usual you have two weeks to get your entry in! 

All you need to do is 'Keep It Simple'

Thanks for looking, Chris
