Hi everyone.
This is a scheduled post as I am away on a girlfriend adventure. I'll be home Friday night, and like the rest of my journey, time is flying by too fast. 😏
It's time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday. Before I get to that, let me thank Anke for being our guest designer for our last spring-themed challenge. Also thank you to everyone who joined in.
And for our new challenge, this time we're asking you to
USE A STENCIL
The design team has some wonderful ideas, so be sure to check out their art. For my piece I made a journal page. I used some blue paint and a music stencil to make the background.
I also used a bit of blue spray ink on the background too.
The flower ( from a large AALL & Create stamp) was stamped on white paper. I then cut out the flower from the rest of the image. I glued it down on my page and colored it with water color paints, paint pens, and a couple of markers. I also added 3 small heart stickers that I used a paint pen to color over.
The leaves, the dragon fly and the watering can are all die cuts. I used markers and paint pens to color them in. I also used a bit of a glitter pen on the dragonfly to create the iridescent effect.
I drew and painted in the arm holding the watering can, and I used a marker and blue watercolor paint to make the water coming out of the can. Finally I added a sticker quote from an Art By Marlene set.
As always, our Try It On Tuesday challenge runs for the next 2 weeks, and we accept all types of art.
I hope you're feeling like playing with a stencil, and we get to see your art linked into our challenge.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Once again, I am in awe of your skills!
A lovely page, I do like how you used music in the background for that beautiful large flower. I am sure I have that A&C stamp myself so need to check and get it used.

Such a gorgeous page! Loving the flower against your beautifully stencilled background - perfect😊. Sorry that I'm so late, I was in Venice when the post went live and with being away from the hotel all day I forgot to pop by. Hugs, Jo x
