Time for a New Challenge at Try It On Tuesday

   Hi everyone. Happy Tuesday.  Since it's Tuesday it's time for a new challenge over at Try It on Tuesday.

   Thank you everyone who joined our Pretty Papers challenge. There were lots of pretty papers which I enjoyed seeing. (And of course, lots of great creations from those papers too.) ❤

    For the next 2 weeks our challenge is Animals (Real or Imaginary).  I had a hard time deciding what animal or animals to pick, but then I thought I'd go with something a little different and chose turtles.

    I was inspired by this old Hero Arts turtle stamp since he's carrying the world on his back. 

    I started by gluing down some scraps of paper, and then using some turquoise ink and this interesting background stamp I finished my background. I stamped, colored and fussy cut the turtle. It's a great image, and I believe many native North American cultures believe that a turtle created the world. I would imagine there are some other cultures that believe that also, but I'm not a world mythology specialist so I don't know off the top of my head.

    I added a couple of turtle stickers, as well as a piece of a navigation map. I framed the map using a cardboard frame  I also used a bit scrap trim off my work table down on the bottom right. Then I finished my page with a quote off the same Hero Arts stamp set that the turtle came from.

   And don't forget to stop by and check  the design teams blogs too. There are so many animals out there that there is almost an unlimited choice of topics. 

   I'm looking forward to seeing your creations and seeing what animals people pick for their entry(ies).
