Our new challenge at Try It On Tuesday is 'ADD SOME TEXT'.
Normally I use acetate for smooshing as I like to see where it's going but thought I'd try it directly from the craft mat for this.
Once the paper was dry, I used a very old tree stamp (that old I have no idea where it came from!) and began to build up the 'forest'.
I used Distress Oxides in shades of Lucky Clover, Shabby Shutters and Bundled Sage. I spritzed the inked up stamp each time before using in the hope that I'd achieve a misty effect!
The sentiment is from Inkylicious - another I have had for a long time but rarely used.
Finished with one of Inkylicious bird stamps and mounted onto black card.
Hope you will share a creation with us this challenge and thanks for looking today! x

Wow Viv! Your forest is fabulous, make me wish for Spring days and getting back to some walks (I'm not a fan of boggy ground) The quote and those flying birds do make this special, Hugs, Chrisx
You've achieved just the look of a misty forest with that lovely sky all of which shows off the text and birds beautifully. So right for the challenge

Lovely card, congrats 😊 happy day
What a lovely card Viv...you sure have all these inky techniques under your belt! I love your misty trees on your smooshed sky and that sentiment is really lovely too! xx
You always have such inspirational posts. This card is lovely. I feel the need now to get out my craft mat just smoosh it with some ink pads,spritz with water and see where all those strips of paper I had arrive in the post take me. I could be some time!! hugs Mrs a.
A lovely card Viv and I love the soft misty look to the tree line. It's a lovely quote too.

This is outstanding Viv, how well the lilac goes with the green of the tree's sheer delight to my eyes. The stamped sentiment is beautiful
Happy creative 2024 Tracey x
You achieved that misty effect beautifully, Viv, and a great sentiment!
This is a wonderful design, so peaceful and with that misty look, and the sentiment is the icing on the cake. Different and gorgeous.
