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
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*

The highlight is this background, fully designed in a fantasy style and, together with the bird, a wonderful work of art.
ReplyDeletehappy week, hugs Elke
I'm so excited you are our guest designer this challenge Tracey. And what a gorgeous piece. I like that handmade background and the little bit of lace peeking out. Yes, spring is so sweet as your beautiful piece shows. Thanks for joining us too and sharing this beautiful piece. Hope all is well. hugs-Erika

ReplyDeleteSo pretty and lacey and textural plus the birdie is perfect addition. I looooove to melt the powder as well, even likening the effect on me to watching the jump to light speed in the original (first) Star Wars movie. It literally makes me feel the same way, haha. WHOA, FAR-OUT, MAN! xoxo
