Count Down 3-2-1

   Hi everyone. It's Tuesday, and that means it's time for a new challenge over at Try It on Tuesday.

  Thank you everyone who joined our All Loved Up challenge. I love the variety of love themed art that was shared.

   For our new challenge we have one that's a little bit more specific. This time we're asking for art that fills the category of Count Down 3-2-1.


   I didn't know how this challenge would work on a journal page (of course it could have worked), but I thought it would be easier on a smaller format. I grabbed 3 of these smaller blue tags I had. I also had a pile of some stickers out on my work table, so I decided I wanted to use those.

   I started by stamping a number image to each tag (I needed to do something with the background) and then using some embossing powder.  I think the embossed background works great on 2 of these, but not so great on the other tag. 

   On the left hand tag I used one flower sticker. I colored that in and then added 2 bird stickers. Finally I stamped a 3 tiny words.

   On the middle tag I added 3 hanging Japanese lantern stickers. I then added the sticker with the 2 cranes. I noticed at this point that they are standing on 3 Lily pad leaves so I guess I didn't need the hanging lanterns. I wasn't sure what to do for the 1 part, so I added one Chinese coin also hanging among the lanterns.


   This last tag is my favorite. I almost posted just this one, but then decided why not show all 3. To make this tag I added  1 butterfly sticker, 2 boxed flower stickers and then 3 little confetti dots to show the butterfly is in motion. I colored in the stickers with some markers. 

   All of the stickers I used are just outline stickers, and I colored them all in with markers.They are oldies from a company from Starform.

   I am also linking this last tag  to Pinky's number challenge at Tag Along (and ATCs).

  Our Try It On Tuesday challenge runs for the next 2 weeks, and as always, we accept any kind of art. I found this challenge a little tricky, so I'm excited to see other people's take on it. 

   And don't forget to check out the blogs of the other design team members too.

  Thanks for stopping by, and have some fun with this challenge.
