Things With Wings

Hi everyone. It's Tuesday which means it's time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday.

     Thank you Ellie for having been our guest designer for our Here Comes Summer challenge, and thank you everyone who joined in. There were a lot of great pieces last challenge, and I had a lot of fun checking them out. 

     Our next challenge is Things With Wings. Think birds, insects, angels, airplanes...and there are a lot of other winged things too-real or imaginary.


     I made a journal page using an assortment of insect dies that I have. First I inked my page a couple of shades of blue, and then I added some ripped pieces of tissue paper. After that I added my insects, but many of them weren't standing out very well, so I used a bit of gesso to highlight them. Finally I stamped some assorted words that seemed to work with my page.

Don't forget to check out the other design team members art pieces too. 
I hope you'll find your "wings" and join us in this challenge. It will run for the next 2 weeks, and at TIOT, we accept all kinds of art.

Butterflies seem so beautiful and fragile, it is amazing that they survive from one generation to the next.

Beautifully creative!!!

Such a flutter of butterflies, or should I say kaleidoscope as this is a riot of colour? Whatever the collective noun you prefer it is a lovely page with its mix of butterflies and words.
Hugs, Neet xx

It's lovely to see all of these butterflies as we are not seeing many at all here with so many grey and often wet days this year. I love the colours you have used for your background too - It's Summer somewhere! Hugs, Chrisx ps as you can see I'm a bit late getting here so off for a catch upx
