Spring Fling

 Hi everyone. It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday 

     Before I get to that, let me thank Deanne from A Little Bit of Paper for being our guest host for our last challenge. And thank you to everyone who joined For a Lady. There was some wonderful feminine inspired art.

    This week spring starts here in the Northern hemisphere, and that's what our new challenge is all about. It's time for a Spring Fling.

      I made a journal page with some blooming flowers, an Easter bunny as well as some nesting bluebirds, all of which are wonderful spring images.

     I started by stamping and coloring the 2 houses (Penny Black). Then I fussy cut them and added them to my page. I die cut the garden flower image twice to fit it across my page. After I glued it down and it dried I added some colors to it. Then I stamped and colored the bluebird as well as the bluebird and birdhouse images. I added those. I really wanted a fence, but I had no fence dies or stamps, so instead I decided to cut out the main part of an old Tim Holtz rosette strip die and without doing the fold use that for the fence.

   If you can't remember the die I'm talking about, here it is.  The first image is the original strip die that I have  and the second is the re-release that's more recent. 

                                       

    I finished by coloring the sky with watercolor paints, added a gold metallic paper sun, stamping the quote and then adding this little bunny sticker I found in my stash.

   Don't forget to check out the design team's pieces too. There's so many ways you could go with spring. 

   I am also linking my page up to Art Journal Journey. I am hosting this month and my challenge is Home Sweet Home.

   I hope you're thinking spring, even if you live south of the equator, and join us at Try It On Tuesday in the next 2 weeks.
