Numbers

    Hi everyone. As I say every other week, it's Tuesday, and time for a new challenge at Try It on Tuesday.

    Thank you Tracey for being our guest designer last challenge. It's great you were able to join us. Also a big thank you to everyone who joined our Make Your Own Background challenge. I love backgrounds, and so I really enjoyed seeing how different people went about it.

    For our latest challenge, we want you to include NUMBERS.

    I made a hodgepodge page that used up some elements that were sitting on my work table.  I started by painting my page some bright green and yellow. Then I grabbed this partially done tag (well the top was painted green and had a few odds and ends on it) and added that to my page. To continue my page, I took those same bright background colors and colored in the bottom of the tag.

   I then grabbed lots of items from my scrap bin as well as  a few "postage style stamps" from a  49 and Market roll. Before I finished layering ephemera, I took a brick stencil and some white paint and added a bit of stenciling. My page felt too vertical and it needed something to not make it feel like it was going to slide off the top or bottom of the page, but the stenciled bricks fixed that. After my stencil paint dried, I went back and continued to add a few more bits and pieces. 

   I finished the page with some very old rub on numbers from Making Memories (remember them?) and also added the sunshine quote and another small tag that said bright.

   There's so many ways to use numbers, so check out how the other design team members added numbers to their art. 

  I hope you like numbers and will join us at Try It On Tuesday with some numbered art. As always, this challenge runs for the next 2 weeks.
