Try it on Tuesday - Make your own background

Good morning all! Todays challenge at Try it on Tuesday

is a fun one and one I do all the time... 

"Make your own Background"

I made an art journal spread for this! I first added gesso to my page, then added some blues and purple acrylic paints and smooched that around. Before it dried, I placed a stencil down and used a baby wipe to remove some of the paint. I then added some squares and circles, my butterfly and Create. A fun one to do!

I do hope you check the design team examples for this challenge and join us!

Be Creative!

Try it on Tuesday - Text

Good morning all! Today at Try it on Tuesday, 

we have a new challenge up for the next 2 weeks...

"Text"

I made a fun journal page using under paper with text on it, covered with acrylic paint and smudged some off through a stencil. I then outlined some wonky circles and added black splatters, my photo and a snarky sentiment! It was fun to get messy again!
