It's Time Again for a New Challenge

 Hi everyone. It's time once again for a new challenge at Try It on Tuesday.

     Before I get to that let me thank Anita from Beads, Charm and Wire for sharing her fabulous tag with us during our Inspired By a Song challenge. And thank you everyone who joined in also. It was fun seeing all the songs people picked out.

Our new challenge that starts today is

FANTASY

I had recently been rereading one of my childhood poetry books that I came across, and one poem inspired me to make my fantasy page. 

     The poem is Lochinvar. It’s written by Sir Walter Scott, and it is all about a knight’s romantic journey. I loved this poem when I was younger. (And I still like it today also 😏)

     Sadly the glare  from the metallic elements and also some glossy paper on my page, along with the blue, meant it wasn't the easiest to photograph.

     My page started with the inside of some craft packaging. I liked the background, and  I attached it to some watercolor paper. Then  I rough stamped the background design and used  blue and a bit of black ink on it.  On some white paper I stamped this ancient Magenta image, and I added it to the center of my page.  I also decided not to color it in so the image would stand out more from the background.

     I used gold paper and a edging die to make the trim that goes across the page, and I used silver paper and some crown dies to make those embellishments. I decorated the crowns with paint dots and also a couple of little decorative gemstones.

     The dragon was stamped twice, first on some white paper that I fussy cut, colored and added some glitter glue too. Once that dried I stamped the image on acetate, fussy cut it again and glued it down over the top of the paper image.

     And finally to finish my page, I photocopied this poem out of a childhood poetry book. I loved the poems Lochinvar as a kid, and thought the title and a couple of lines from this long poem worked with my image. 

      If medieval fantasy doesn't excite you, be sure to check out all the lovely pieces from the rest of the design team.  There's all kinds of directions you can go with this challenge. Also remember, we accept all types of art at Try It on Tuesday, and you have 2 weeks to to join in for this challenge.

Hope to see you there!
