Hi everyone Happy Tuesday.
It's time once again for a new challenge at Try It on Tuesday. Thank you everyone who joined our Colorful challenge, and thank you Bleubeard and Elizabeth for being our guest designer for our last challenge also. I think many of you love color as much as I do, and I had a lot of fun going through people's art.❤
Our new challenge still has some color to it, but this time we're looking for
BLACK AND WHITE PLUS 1 COLOR
I chose this lovely fall green as my color, and I used green cardstock to die cut the leaves, tag and pears. I then took just a slightly darker shade of that green to bring out the details of my die cuts. I used a very old Spellbinders die set for all the cuts on my page.
The black and white background is some Paper Artsy/Alison Bomber tissue paper. I also used some black textured tape (so old I don't know who made it), and my stamped quote is the definition of a pear from a Janet Klein set. After my page had dried, I sprayed some green ink on my page just to brighten it up a bit.
Be sure to check out the design team's examples too, especially if you're stuck how to go with this challenge. Theses ladies have some super ideas.
As always this challenge at Try It on Tuesday runs for the next 2 weeks and we accept all types of art.
I'm also linking up this page to Aimeslee's Anything Goes challenge at Art Journal Journey The AJJ challenge is for art journaling and runs through the rest of the month.
That fall green is so gorgeous! I love the design of the page.

ReplyDeleteGreen page looks so fresh and cheerfull...Greetings..
ReplyDeletePretty page. We took a ride out to Springfield, MA today. The greens were already giving way to the reds, yellows, and oranges of Fall. 😿I hope you got outside today, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a clever idea for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteDoes is say "Schulnachricht" on top? Looking forward to see more of this, hugs
Pretty greens, always remind me of St. Patty's at first, but then Spring. A lovely page, thanks for adding it to AJJ. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love your colour choice Erika, its a wonderful inspiring page for the new TioT theme.

If a challenge says 'black and white plus one colour' I almost always go for red but now I am thinking next time I will use green.
ReplyDeleteI love the green against the white, it somehow has a fresh look to it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hugs, Neet xx
Love all the shades of green and the variety of the due cuts, fab page

Fabulous page, love the shades of dark green die cuts which really stand out against the citrus green of your background. I like the 'plus one colour' as the main feature.
