Hi everyone. Can you believe it is the last day of April already?
That means it is time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday. For the next 2 weeks our challenge will be Things With Wings.
Think of all the wonderful things with wings. I chose butterflies but that's hardly scratching the surface.
My page began with me inking watercolor paper. Then I stamped a background image from a set of TH background stamps at a few spots on the page. I used some modeling paste and a stencil. I left the modeling paste white for contrast. I also die cut some similar pink paper with an interlinking circle die and added thata round the modeling paste. I added a few piece of a torn paper ruler (the ones you pick up to measure with in IKEA) as well as some Japanese stamps. Finally time to add the stars of the show, some TH butterfly images. I stamped some postmarks and a couple of phrases a few times over and finally added some stickers to make the title of my page.
Hope you have some time to join us at Try It On Tuesday with your winged art. I look forward to seeing your creations!

The background you've made is outstanding, so complex, and just right for the butterflies to land on.
I love the pretty postage stamps too and the use of the Ikea paper ruler (!)
No! I could not believe it was the end of April already and actually went to the calender on the computer to check. How did that happen?
Still too cold for butterflies today, but you page would make lovely gift wrap.

No, I can't LOL! This month and in fact the year seems to be flying by!
I do like your 'Things with Wings' piece, it looks lovely and the background is my favourite colour :)

Wow,what a beautiful page! I love your watercoloured background and the butterflies floating up the page - stunning 😁. I hope you are having a wonderful week! J 😊 x
This is absolutely stunning, Erika. I love how you used the background stamps, dear. It is a gorgeous entry and I think it's a marvelous way to honor things with wings.
So much wonderful detail to look at in this page Erika, the butterflies look gorgeous. Leaving the stencil white has added to the design and draws the eye to the background.

So many beautiful butterflies on a lovely backround.
This one has disappeared too - I was one of the first to visit here! I love the colours you chose for this as well as the lovely texture! Hugs, Chrisx
This a smashing mixed media page, love how you added those randoms like the paper tape. I have to say I adore the TH Butterflies, I find it very hard to use mine and have to keep replacing them :))
Thanks for sharing Hugs Tracey x
A stunning mixed media page Erika!
