Hi everyone. It’s time again on this Tuesday for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday It’s our first challenge for September.
Thank you to everyone who joined our last Let's Go Outside challenge including Bonnie who was our lovely guest designer for the challenge.
Our new challenge is
FANTASY
What is your favorite fantasy creature? Elves, unicorns, superheros, dragons, or perhaps like mine, mermaids. There are so many ways you can go with this challenge, not just fantasy creatures.
My page was inked, and then I added this piece of deli paper that I had used as scrap paper to stencil on. It had a cool reverse design on it, so I added it to my page, as well as adding a bit of the same blue color around my page so it blended in better.
The mermaid is stamped, fussy cut and colored. I also added a couple of scraps from some silver mesh fabric trim that I found on a markdown table. The mesh looks like netting or fish scales, doesn't it? I used a stencil and a Sharpie for the words. Then added some tiny seashells and some sequins, as well as some plastic starfish that I pulled off an old journal page (that I wasn't crazy about) that I cut apart to use for another page.
Just a reminder that we accept all types of art at Try It on Tuesday. This challenge runs for the next 2 weeks.
Thanks for visiting my post. And I hope you're inspired to join us for this challenge.
Fantasy! Now there’s a topic with lots of scope. I suspect there will be a few that people won’t want to share publicly! Hugs - David
ReplyDeleteNo dragons or werewolves, thanks! We have enough horror in the real world.
ReplyDeleteBut Pegasus and Unicorn look friendly and helpful.
...on our trips to Maui, mermaids were a reality.
ReplyDeleteFantasy sounds like a great theme. I adore your charming mermaid.
ReplyDeleteThe underwater scene you made for the sweet mermaid looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWell, Gotta Like The Griffins Of The World - Under The Bridge Trolls And Gnomes Are On The Radar - But Your Own Version Of Ghouls And Imps Might Be Worthy - Anyway, Have A Delightful September
ReplyDeleteCheers

ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
I think in my earlier life I was a creature of fantasy but I become more real every day. Thanks for this interesting post honey. Aloha
ReplyDeleteOK, fully awake now! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat new banner.
Oh, you should visit Perth for Fringe World, there are always two mermaids in a basin. And one you can book for events.
Great page presenting the used words perfectly. It must be fun to be so creative (I am sadly not).
Have a dreamy day, hugs
I love the mermaid and the scene you created Erika, its a fabulous page to inspire us for the new TioT's theme.

Such a nice little mermaid and page. How's your patient doing? Hope she is resting nicely and happy end of week to you, xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love your mermaid and the whole page. So artistic
ReplyDeleteA fabulous mermaid and I love the blues of the stencilled background, I feel as if she's splashing up some waves.
ReplyDeleteThose little shells and sequins are a lovely embellishment to your page.
