Try it on Tuesday - Pretty papers

 Hi everyone!  Today at Try it on Tuesday, we have a new challenge up for the next couple of weeks...

"Pretty Papers"

 I usually do mixed media backgrounds, and thought I would change things up a bit. I use to scrapbook ages ago, and have quite the stash, so I am getting back into it again, and thought, why not make a scrapbook layout!  So I used some of my favourite papers I have in my stash, some embellishments, and a photo of me many, many, many years ago! Over 60, but whatever! LOL!

I do hope you join us and share your pretty papers with us! Don't forget to check out what the amazing design team have done for this challenge!

Try it on Tuesday - Going round in Circles

 Good morning all! Today at Try it on Tuesday, we will have you 

"Going round in Circles' 

I painted the background black, then used a large dotted bubble wrap that I roll white onto, then squished it down on the black. There was a bit of blue and red from another project on my bubble wrap but I liked the hint of colour popping through.  Added some white circles using a white writ out pen and circle washi for my little gal! 

Hope you can join us for this challenge that ends in 2 weeks and check out what the amazing design team have done for this!

Try it on Tuesday - Summer Blooms

 Good morning all and Happy July!

It is the month where the flowers bloom, and what better way to celebrate this is with this challenge 

at Try it on Tuesday 

"Summer Blooms"

For this art journal page, I cut out some flower paper, applied a thin layer of white gesso over it to tone it down, then drew a summer blossom and painted it and added some shading. I added my favourite little girl and a summery quote and voila! 

I do hope you will join us for this summer challenge!
