Little things mean a lot....at TioT's

The new challenge theme today at

  Try it on Tuesdays

is  .... ''Little  Things Mean a Lot''.

The challenge is to make something that measures no more than 4 inches square [10.16cms]

It doesn't have to be square but it must fit into the square shape.

The team have made some fantastic inspiration pieces, so please pop over for all the details 

as see what they made.
We have also   added to our Rules and Guidelines at TioT's.
Please check to see if the change  effects you in any way.

I decided to alter my perspex cup stand, 

Here it is, if you wonder about the colours on it , there were inks added as tints  in its former life and I tried many things including nail varnish remover to get them off.

So I gave up and decided they would add to my shading efforts. I also wanted to use a small piece of this pretty napkin as well.

As you can see these are the  sides  I made to decorate  the stand., along side the ruler.

I used embossed card and shaded this with blue distress ink and a little sprayed watercolour. paint.

The stamped images came from  a Dina Wakley set.

Here you see the reverse side in place,

Now I have a cup mat that is quite nice to look at from both sides.

Thank you for calling in today, you are most welcome here
