Butterflies..... at TioT's

 

The new challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesdays is.......

Butterflies

I have made a layered card using a single stamped image , with a fussy cut butterfly, 

which was stamped onto acetate and coloured green.

 The base cards are  white, the image layered onto pale green  but its been so dull and wet here these past few days its been hard to get a good photo.

We hope you will join us ,  please call in and see the inspiration from the  TioT team.

As always what you create is up to yourselves, as long as you use the chosen theme.

Thank you for calling in to see me, my blog is sadly a bit neglected these days, but I 

hope to  get myself together and spend some time crafting  soon.

Stay safe. everyone.

Make it Feminine at TioT's.

 

Make it  Feminine ....

is the new theme over at Try it on Tuesdays

We hope you will join us there

and please call over to see how we interpreted this topic.

I've gone  to Paris for this page, well the background was already started,

 with a few random stamp images and words. 

Its an old fussy cut recycled  image of the  pretty gal, maybe she is  one of the dancers

 from the Folies Bergere wearing a dress like this. 

I added more  glitter to the image  for  a bit more glamour and sparkle.

I am adding  this page to the current theme 

 at Art Journal Journey hosted by Elle at Empire of the cat. the theme is.....Language

and as you can see I have used  the French language on this page. France was a country my family always enjoyed visiting in our caravan.  Using basic school French we soon expanded our vocabulary over the years.

Thank you for stopping by  to see me here.

Stay safe and keep well

Language ..... at Art Journal Journey

 May

and a new theme over at Art Journal Journey.

Our host this month is Elle from Empire of the Cat and the theme she has chosen is......

'Language.'

Please call over to AJJ to read the details and see Elle's inspiration for her theme.

Language 

 and words are  something I do not take for granted.

 It  can change how we feel,  communicate with other people,  how we interpret  what we see,

 instruct, educate, even escape to a private world  of fantasy and dreams

My journal page started out with torn book pages, lots of green mop up paint and a flower image.

Next came the flower fairies  you will have guessed I'm now using my computer digital program.

Next I added the words, the language that  could explain what I was thinking about as I created the page.

Was it a world of make believe with fairies at the bottom of the garden or was it going out into the garden to do a tidy up, or,  was it  to pick  up the book I am currently reading. Adding language to a page even just one word changes what we see.

As its a cold day

 I think the book will win.

Thank you for calling in today, stay safe and keep well.

Inspired by a Song ..... at TioT's

 

Inspired by a Song...

is the new challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesdays.

We hope you will join us there,

 please pop over to see which songs we all chose for inspiration.

The song I chose for my inspiration was....

We are family---- by Sister Sledge.

Families- sisters, brothers, cousins........

 have not been able to get together for many months but  imagine the joy 

and fun that  they will be able to have when  the restrictions

 we are all living with just now are raised.

My digital  journal page relates to a few of the cousins dancing with joy 

to the beat of the music, while maybe their parents are sitting  watching, talking,

 glad to be in each others company again. 

Happier, carefree days that hopefully  will return soon

.I will also link this page to  Art Journal Journey

where we are remembering Eileen with a theme she had chosen .'.Inspired by.' 

My inspiration was the song  I chose to use on the page.

Stay safe and keep well.

Make a Rainbow..... at TioT's

 Make a Rainbow.....

 is the new challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesdays.

Please pop over to see how we all interpreted this theme  at TioT's.

We are looking forward to seeing all   the rainbow colours you use to create your art or project.

This was how the page looked before I added the computer generated images in the digital program I use. Some areas were covered up with lighter shades and even though the computer is a clean way of adding colour I did enjoy creating this page.

One of these days I hope to get out paints and get properly messy again, but its hard for me to  focus after all that has been going on in my family these past months.

I hope to get  calling in to visit everyone soon.

Thank you for stopping by, stay safe and keep well.

I will also link this page to  Art Journal Journey

where we are remembering Eileen with a theme she had chosen .'.Inspired by.' 

My inspiration was the bright colours  I chose to use on the page.

Inspired by...... at Art Journal Journey.

 

Inspired by.....

 is the theme for April over at Art Journal Journey

This theme was chosen for us by Eileen from the Artful Crafter, sadly Eileen

didn't make it after  heart surgery and  passed away last month.. In her memory we are 

 using the theme she chose for us, with Erika and Chris hosting.

This has been a hard journal page for me  to complete. The theme wasn't the problem,  it was my thoughts going off  sideways. knowing how her family and friends must be feeling .

The inspiration for my page came from a   session in the garden.  My eldest son had fun with a  tree saw and cleared some large branches and I  got started in the greenhouse  tackling the vine that decided  it was taking over the whole space.  It was good to get out in the fresh air, I  had a few  smiles   as I remembered  my sons as youngsters going out and bringing me in bunches of flowers as well as weeds that had to be  given pride of place  in a pot on the window ledge.  

 Once again my journal page was completed in the digital program I use. It started off with paper scraps, paint and  embossed stencil layers.

I hope you will join us at AJJ we all look forward to seeing what inspired you.

Take care and stay safe.

Hello Spring.... at TioT's

 Hello Spring...

is the  theme for the next two weeks over at

 Try it on Tuesdays.

The team have lots of inspiration to share with you for this theme, please pop over to TioT's for all the information and we do hope you will join us there.

Springtime has me thinking of    flowers   bringing colours to our gardens

 and in  the days before the pandemic 

 being able to walk freely  in the countryside, seeing the wild rabbits

 and the new born lambs in the fields.

The background journal page is made up of scraps of paper, thick splodges of gesso left to dry, creating texture and finished in the digital program I use on my computer.

I wonder if the little bunny is hoping one of the eggs will fall

 so he can hide it for the children to find on Easter morning.

This is a digital card I created using this  journal page....

Happy Easter

 to  everyone who celebrate this special time of the year.

Stay safe.
