Hi everyone. Happy Tuesday. It's time once again for a new challenge at Try It on Tuesday.
Thank you to everyone who joined our Rainbow Colors challenge and thank you Chris from Here's One I Made Earlier blog for being our guest designer for our last challenge. Our newest challenge is all about music. Our challenge is
Inspired By A Song
For my page, I was thinking about the classic tune "Up, Up and Away in my Beautiful Balloon".
I made a page with balloons soaring among the clouds. I started with a dark blue ink pad and then some lighter blue and also some white spray paints. I have an old clear stamp set from Flourishes Rubber Stamps (another company that no longer exists-there's so many-it's sad) that had the balloon on it. I stamped the balloons and colored them in using paint pens. Then to make their structure pop more off the page, I used Staz-on ink and stamped the image again 3 times on some acetate. I fussy cut the acetate pieces and then glued them down over the colored balloons on my page. I finished by adding some confetti stars to them.
I drew and fussy cut some clouds. I was trying to figure out how to write UP, UP and Away on my page, but I thought it would look too crowded up among the clouds. Of course later I had a better idea how to add those words, but by then I had already stamped the quote that went with the set containing the balloon. Oh well. 😏
There is a song by Bryan Adams that came out a few years ago called You Lift Me Up, and it's a good song too, so if you don't like Up, Up and Away, you could say my page also works for that tune.
Our challenge at Try It On Tuesday runs for the next 2 weeks, and since we accept all types of art, we hope you'll be inspired by a song you hear and join us. And if you're stuck for any ideas, please check out all the inspiration from our designers.

Both the songs are perfect for your beautiful page, Erika. Good morning, my friend.
...songs come to mind for me often when I see various things!
Love this idea.
I love music and art. Very fun journal cover.
Fabulous page, and I love that balloon song. I only went up in a balloon once, never again! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
Fabulous page! Loving those hot air balloons floating in the sky, it's perfect for the the song that inspired you 😊. Have a fun April! Hugs, Jo x
So beautiful
I love that you spent so much time on those balloons. They are fabulous. The balloons in the clouds would fit either song.
Dear Erika,
how beautiful your balloon picture is! And it goes well with both songs!
I also find it very, very uplifting that your bees are doing well :-)
It was a while ago, but you asked me before my blog break whether my grandson was afraid of the animals in the zoo. I don't know if I've answered it yet, but I don't think so: Jamie (like the rest of the family) is a huge animal lover. He is always happy when he can pet animals. In our zoo these are goats and sheep. With tigers and lions and polar bears, he knows that they are behind bars or glass and cannot harm him. But he knows exactly how these animals roar ;-))
All the best after my blog break,
Traude

Love that song so happy
The sky with the clouds are hot air balloons are super cute! What a fun idea for the song...so happy as your page makes me feel! I love it!
Love your balloons.
I like both the songs you mention in your post.
All the best Jan
Yes, you're right this wonderful page is suited to both songs! I love watching hot air balloons although I don't want to riďe in one! Hugs Chrisx
Wonderful! Ingo had another song - I must ask him it was about love lifting me higher - thank you for thinking of that again, hugs!!!!
A fantastic page Erika , as you say it works well with both songs you had in mind, air balloons look so colourful but not certain that I would like a trip in one of them, I stay on the ground.
Have a good rest of the week.

Perfect songs for a great page Erika!
A gorgeous page! I like both of those songs Erika.
Hugs,
Alison
This is a lovely page Erika. I love the way you have treated the hot air balloons on your page and imagine in real life they look quite different with the glossy overlay.
Both songs work but now I have 'up up and away' running in my head.
Hugs, Neet xx
You gave us a twofer with this one Erika, so uplifting (no pun intended..) Those balloons are fab!! Very hard not to let some songs be that earworm we hear all day both catchy numbers.
Wishing you a crafty day Hugs Tracey xx
Fabulous page and great that it gives inspiration for two songs. Love those balloons in your night sky.
