Make A Mark

Welcome to the end of May everyone.  Big thanks to all of you who joined the party at Try It On Tuesday and helped us celebrate our 10th anniversary.

And since 2 weeks have passed since we posted the party challenge, it is time for another challenge to begin at Try It on Tuesday.

Our latest challenge is to Make a Mark.

We want to see your abstract patterns, girds, circles, squares, chevrons, or any other kind of mark.

I began by painting these upside down V's, not quite a chevron. I outlined them with black Sharpie and stamped some red painted rings. For those I used  a bit of  paint on some foam pipe insulation as my stamp.

I then gave the page  a spray of blue ink.

The girls and the little colorful trim above her are from my Studio Light punch out books which I am having fun using lately. To mimic the tulips on her dress, I painted some paper red and drew and then cut out the tulips. I cut the stems and leaves from some green paper scraps I had.  I thought this page needed a bit of girliness so I added the white cloth trim blinged out with a few sticky gemstones.  And I used stickers to create my words.

I thought the page was perfect for where I have been spending a lot of my free time lately.

And also, since this lady has clouds and the sky on her dress, and my page is blue like a beautiful blue sky day, I am also linking her up to Art Journal Journey. There's still a few days left to join the In the Air/In the Sky challenge there.

Hope to see you and your marks over at 

Try It On Tuesday!
