Time for a New Challenge

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

    Thank you everyone who participated in our Add Some Text challenge. There were some fun pieces shared, and some great way to use text. Our new challenge means you can make your Valentine's Day pieces because for the next 2 weeks we're asking for art with the theme :  All Loved Up.

   I didn't start with the intentions of making my page something that was very traditional Valentine's Day, but that's how it ended up. Sometimes pages just have a life of their own. 

    My page started with some white spiky flower-like  design because I was cleaning off a stencil.  I was hoping when I inked the page it would show  up more, but you can "kind of" see them if you look carefully. Then I used some pink ink and stamped an old X...O stamp randomly in spots. The roses are an old but new to me die cut. 

   I used water color paints, paint pens and a bottle of red acrylic paint to color the roses. The small rose (from the same set) was painted with acrylic paints and some glitter glue. I added the die cut heart, added a few sequins to it and then added this metal Cupid I found in my stash and finally have been able to use. 

   Don't forget we accept any types of art at Try It on Tuesday, and if traditional Valentine's Day is not your thing, check out the other design teams pieces for some other great ideas.

 

   I am also linking  this page to Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's Art Journal Journey challenge. This month the challenge is Anywhere, Anyplace, Anytime, with Anyone. But please remember that at Art Journal Journey we only accept art journaling and no cards, tags, ATCs etc.

  I can't wait to see your All Loved Up pieces over at Try It on Tuesday.
