It's Colourful!

 Hi everyone! Our new theme at Try It On Tuesday is 'Make It Colourful', you can get those crayons, paints or markers out and go ever so slightly colour crazy (if you want to!) I love seeing how the use of a stamp can be changed just with a choice of colour. 

I have used some Paper Artsy stamps and stencils designed by lovely Kate Crane. 

The background is made of some torn up gelli prints and some of Kate's art mark stamps. The figures and the bird were coloured with a combination of Derwent and Faber Castell Albrecht Duhrer watercolour pencils. I drew a frame around the edge of my page.

The TIOT Design Team have some fantastic examples of how to 'Make It Colourful' - please take a look here.

As usual the theme runs for two weeks and the Rules and Guidelines are here if you need them.

Thanks for looking, Chris

I love this colorful piece Chris. Those are such fun stamps, and as always, you used them to make a super page. How is the husband's injury coming along? I hope by now he's well. Hope you are also. hugs-Erika

The figures are so fun. I wonder what the two on the right are looking at?
