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 


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*

An absolutely gorgeous ATC, so creative! Love that textured background, it looks amazing even without the bird!
thanks for sharing at Stamping Sensations.

The highlight is this background, fully designed in a fantasy style and, together with the bird, a wonderful work of art.
happy 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

It's a really beautiful tag Tracey, you always incorporate so much texture and interest into your pieces and this one no less than others. Perfect elements within it to suite our themes at Tag-Along, Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping challenges. Many thanks.
