Use A Stencil Or Two

Good morning all, today is the start of a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday, the theme is to Use A Stencil Or Two. I’m very happy to be a guest designer for the challenge.

For the challenge I’ve Made a card.

For the background I sprayed some Dylusions ink through a stencil and then sprayed a little water to make some of the ink run. I added some gold paint splatters.

For the main image I used a sweet poppy stencil and Versamagic ink then I added some doodling on the flowers.

I adhered the background to a card blank then I wrapped some cord round the image and adhered it to the card,  I die cut some butterflies using a Martha Stewart butterfly punch and added them and a sentiment to the card.

Thank you for dropping by to take a look, have a lovely day. xxx

Trick or Treat Art Journal Page

Good morning everyone, today I'm very happy to be a guest designer for Try It On Tuesday, the theme for their latest challenge is Trick Or Treat/Halloween.

I've made an art journal page.

I covered a page in my Dina Wakley journal with a sheet of Gecko Galz background paper and then I  painted the edges with white paint. I printed a mixture of Gecko Galz and Mischief Circus images, cut them out and adhered them to the page, I added a little colour to some of the images with coloured pencils. The red moon's made of tissue paper. I used a Sizzix die for the crow and branch, for the cat and flying witch I used Cherry Pie Art stamps, the spider and cobweb are Inkadinkado stamps and the sentiment is a Tim Holtz stamp, I wrote Trick Or Treat on the roof. The image with the horns was just a head and shoulders so I used a silver Gelato to make him look like he had a ghostly body.

Thank you for dropping by to take a look, why not pop over to Try It On Tuesday to see the inspirational pieces that the design team have made. xxx

Take A Ride

Hi everyone. I'm sharing with you a couple of man cards that I had to make last week, I'm also entering them in the Try It On Tuesday Take a Ride challenge.

The background for this card was already made in my stash and I stamped the Crafty Individuals train onto card that I'd coloured with distress inks. The circles on the background were made with an AALL&Create stamp, I'm not sure who made the ruler stamp or the sentiment stamp.

For this card I spread some gesso directly onto the card and did some stamping - unsure who made the stamps. The Crafty Individuals car was stamped onto card stained with some vintage photo distress ink.

Thank you for looking, enjoy your day. xxx

DCD Week 3

Hi everybody, I've my Dylusions Creative Dyary week 3 to share with you today.

I'm entering my diary in the Try It On Tuesday Fire and Ice challenge.

This is my finished diary spread.

This is how the diary came.

I painted the diary page with blue Fresco paint and stencilled the snowflakes, I added some stickles.
The jumper is part of some junk mail, it was a grey drawing that I coloured with felt tip pens. I added a few doodles and wrote "what you need on a cold and frosty morning is a nice warm wooly jumper"

Thank you for dropping by to take a look, have a lovely day. xxx Hazel.

Colourful Tag

Hi everyone, I'm sharing a tag with you today, it's one that I made for last months UK Stampers tag swap.

I'm entering my tag in the Try It On Tuesday Colourful challenge.

The background was made by sticking bits of patterned paper to the tag, then I splattered it with white paint. The Tim Holtz flower was stamped onto white card, coloured with pencils, cut out and glued to the tag. I added the Tim Holtz paper doll, word sticker and ribbon.

Thank you for dropping by to take a look. xxx Hazel.

The Inkylicious girl with balloons was stamped directly onto the card and I also stamped the balloons onto white card, coloured them with pitt pens, cut them out and adhered them to the card. I stamped the words with a finnabair stamp and added a Tim Holtz word sticker.

Try It On Tuesday - Guest Designer

I was thrilled to find that a tag I'd made had been chosen as one of the top 5 in the Try It On Tuesday Book Pages challenge and I was even more thrilled when I was asked to be a guest designer.

I have made a couple of postcards for my GD spot - the theme of the challenge is Sun/Moon/Stars.

For my sun postcard I used modelling paste with a Memory Box stencil, then I gave it a coat of gesso. To colour the background I used acrylic ink sprayed with water.

I kept adding more ink and water until I got the colours that I liked.

I stamped the PaperArtsy flower onto some white card twice, I coloured the flowers with the inks and cut them out, I glued one of the flowers to the card and then I cut the outer petals of the second flower and glued it over the first flower.

My moon and stars postcard was made the same way as the sun card.

I used a Crafters Workshop stencil with the modelling paste and used acrylic ink to colour it. I dry brushed some white acrylic paint over the top of the stars and then I added some stickles to the stars. The Clarity stamp moon was stamped onto white card, coloured with watercolours, cut out and attached to the card with thick double sided tape. I wrote the W. Clement Stone quote and added it to the card.

Please take a look at the challenge to see the fabulous samples that the very talented design team have made and I hope you can enter the challenge as well.
