Hi everyone!
A new challenge starts today at Try It On Tuesday. For our latest challenge we ask you to die cut or fussy cut an image and use it in your creation.
So we call this challenge "Cut It Out".
I die cut the small oval frame and I stamped and fussy cut the lady's face. She definitely likes roses, wouldn't you say?
To make my page I started with a stencil and some of Dina Wakely's spray paints. I love how they work because the image doesn't smear or wipe away once dry. (And no, I am not working for herr or Ranger and trying to sell them to you.)
I then added a bit of printed tissue paper to dull down the color a bit. I stamped the lady with this ancient Postmodern Design stamp, colored her and fussy cut her out. Then I die cut the frame from white paper and inked it brown. I also added some small crafting gemstones. I added the roses (TH emphermera) , including a Japanese stamp with roses on it. I also stamped a few postmarks to go with the stamp. Finally I used some white paint to make a place for my stamped quote. That is another ancient stamp I had from Flourishes clear stamps.
I am also linking up to Mia's flower challenge at Art Journal Journey which runs through this upcoming weekend.
Hope you like my lovely summer lady. And thanks so much for visiting my blog!

Wonderful page with powerful colours, she must be a power lady. Have a wonderful day, hugs, Valerie
Such a beautiful page! The stencilled sprayed background worked beautifully with the image of the lady and I'm loving her hat with all those gorgeous roses too 😀. There is lots of inspiration here with the die cut oval, fussy cut lady and die cut roses from the ephemera pack - perfect! Take care and wishing you a lovely new week! Hugs, Jo x
There is so much to see on this fabulous page Erika. The background looks awesome and it is a real lovely main focal framed image you used, wonderful words on the page as well.
Stay safe.

Beautiful page. The young lady with her pretty bonnet looks like she's going out to a tea party. I hope you have a good day.
Oh Erika! This page says a lot about this lady - she even has roses on her hat! I love the background you made - fabulous colours through the stencil! Cheering me up no end!! Hugs, Chrisx
You're definitely selling those sprays to me, Erika, lol. Love all the floral bits and the frame is a nice touch. I think saying she likes roses is a bit of an understatement. Aren't you glad we don't have to wear monstrosities like that on our heads nowadays? I certainly am. Especially when it's warm. Wonderful page, with lots of detail. Not long now...nearly retirement day :-)
Have a great week!

Such a delightful page Erika, I too am a fan of Dina Wakley paints having just been using them and comparing them to my usual ones. I do like the background, it works so well with the roses you have used.
Hope you are keeping well and looking forward to the sunshine that you mentioned in a later blog.
Hugs, Neet xx
