Hi everyone. It's been two weeks since our last Try It On Tuesday challenge began, and that means it's time for a new one to start.😀
First let me thank everyone who joined into our Keep It Simple challenge and also thank Trina who was a guest designer.
Our new challenge that begins today runs for the next 2 weeks is
MAKE IT FEMININE
I'm not sure how I feel about my journal page, but it is definitely very feminine.
I started by making the tag which you can see in the center of my page. The background was white, but it was a bit too white so I inked it with this magenta red. I was thinking strong woman, someone who would wear red proudly. Then I decided to attach my tag to a background page. I stamped a bunch of old images that are very feminine and then I inked it the same magenta red. Now it was too red, so I used some gesso and a paper towel to sponge down the background on the paper.
I wanted to add some ladies, so I went with these 2 long and tall flappers who look very feminine and frame the tag nicely. My page still needed something, so I added some washi tape flower stickers a long the bottom. The quote is from an old Technique Tuesday set. I know the keep calm part of the quote is something that was popular in stamping several years back, but I still liked how it worked with my page.
And before I sign off don't forget to check out the other members of the design teams art too. There's some beautiful feminine art examples from those talented ladies to inspire you.
I hope you're inspired by feminine art and that you'll join us at TIOT in the next couple of weeks.
...there seems to be a "keep calm" theme for everything.
ReplyDeleteI like two beautiful ladies...not sure about the background though...but it's feminine for sure!
ReplyDeleteSo much thought and detail goes into everything you do. I would be too overwhelmed to even start!

Magenta red is my favourite too Erika..it's like moodbooster when i use something in red or magenta, beside pink off course...
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant! I used to be hooked on using flapper ladies in my work and still I love to see them. I think it is the fashion I like and all the bits of glitz and glamour associated with it. Love your tag and resulting page. Very pretty using that shade of pink.

A fabulous page Erika and so many feminine details to look at, I loved the selection of shoes. A super colour choice and maybe you can guess a tune that I was thinking about as well.
ReplyDeleteHave a good rest of the week.

Fabulous page! I love the tag as it makes a wonderful focal point for your design! I agree with the women in red! Very stylish page!
ReplyDeleteA great page Erika, love all the stamped details on your background and the strong colour really makes your flapper girls stand out. It's a great quote too.
