Spring!

Hi everyone. It is another Tuesday and another start of a new challenge at  Try It On Tuesday .

First let me thank Silke for hosting our Spotlight Challenge, and also let me thank everyone who joined in. 

Our new challenge is one that speaks to the upcoming season for everyone who lives north of the equator. This time our theme is

SPRING

I made a blossom filled page  that used a lot of stamping and watercolor paints and pencils.

I started by taking some watercolor pencils and making some "spots" on my blank journal page. Then used a wet brush and spread out the colors so I had various colors around my background. I then used an ancient Technique Tuesday cherry blossom stamp and stamped it multiple times around my background. A few spots didn't stamp very dark so I even over-stamped some of those images.

I used watercolor paints, a marker, and a white pen to  color in the background flowers. I also stamped one branch of flowers on some white paper. I used the same supplies to color them in, and then I fussy cut them.  I used a die to die cut the black oval in the center of my page. I stamped the quote on it with white pigment ink. Then I stamped the bunny on white paper and fussy cut that out. I added that and my single branch of cherry blossoms around the base of my die cut. Finally I stamped some tiny butterflies and colored them in.

Our spring challenge runs for the next 2 weeks, and if you don't know, Technique Tuesday accepts all types of art. And don't forget to check out all the fun spring ideas from the design team members also.

I am also linking my page up to Chris' challenge at Art Journal Journey. This month Chris' challenge is  On All Fours, and she asks for 4 legged animals.   Just a reminder that at Art Journal Journey only journaling is accepted. Please no cards, tags, or other art forms.

I look forward to seeing everyone's spring inspired art.
