Make your own Background ~ Try it on Tuesday Guest Designer

 Hello creatives 

It's always an honour to be invited to be Guest Designer  

@ Try it on Tuesday. I have known these lovely creatives 

for quite a number of years now and every fortnight they 

NEVER fail to inspire me with their dedication 

to create challenges for us every two weeks. 

I hope I can inspire you with this fortnights theme 

*Make your own background @ Try it on Tuesday*

Using recycled packaging this substrate is ATC size, 

covered with a layer of gesso, I smudged on acrylic 

paint using my finger then scribbling on some text..  

Gluing washi tape and a torn TH mixed media die cut 

I smudged acrylic paint again blending those raised 

areas in with the background... 

Dots of embossing ink sprinkled with gold embossing powder 

are heated with a heat tool.. how I love watching that 

embossing powder melt and rise. 

Edged with very messy machine stitch and a strip of old 

lace a Penny Black Bird from the singsong set is stamped 

and coloured with alcohol markers, pencil and paint. 

Cut and layered on the ATC along with a TH sentiment sticker 

this completes my *Backgrounds* make for Try it on Tuesday..

Please pop on over HERE and visit the 

inspiring Try it on Tuesday Team. 

*Thank you Lovely ladies for inviting me*

Creative Artiste ~ #125 Anything Mixed Media Goes April Challenge

Hello Creatives 

Its challenge #125 @ Creative Artiste our 

theme is always Anything Mixed Media Goes.

Here's what I got up to, mixing up media in my journal.

 

Scraping gesso then modeling paste through a TH stencil I've 

glazed with PaperArtsy Mattints giving a sheer subtle effect. 

Collaging torn papers and old book pages on a 6x4 topper, 

graphite is rubbed through a tree stencil and then with paste. 

Glazing again with mattints I edged with machine stitch, 

washi tape and tea stained paper doilies.. 

The Hare is a stamp by Hobby Art and has always been one 

of my favourite stamp images so much so that I actually 

have two sets of the March Hare.. 😊

Very sad to see this wonderful company close, without 

the encouragement from Jenny Mayes (Owner) all those 

years ago I never would have taken those brave steps 

to even start a blog, Jenny made me believe 

in myself, what a beautiful soul she is 💖

The stamped hare is coloured with alcohol markers, pencil 

and paint given thread whiskers and bedecked with purple 

and green lace, he's popping up from the woodlands edge 

making his presence known .. so cute.

Wishing those that celebrate

Take care everyone

Fourseasons ~ Spring Season April 2026 

Spring is in the air

 Hello Creative Friends 

Slow stitch to start a new season, using fabric scraps, 

some vintage, lace embellishments with an applique flower 

patch that I've given beads for stamen. At present it stands 

as a journal cover a little burst of spring time inspiration.

Also a little spring time tag with a layered background of 

collage, stencil and paste, tickled with PaperArtsy Paint. 

I'm not sure what this flowers name is but it's from the 

Stamps by me *Make Memories* stamp and die set.

Die cut and layered multiple times I think coloured in pink 

it does resemble Cherry Blossom, perfect for the season..

Wishing you all good health and sunshine.
