Things with Wings at Try It On Tuesday

 Our challenge at Try It On Tuesday for the next two weeks is called 'THINGS WITH WINGS' and we're looking forward to seeing your interpretation of our theme.

I did an ink blended background after masking off the moon using green and purple shades with a teeny splash of yellow.

I did lightly go over the moon when the background was done as it looked very stark white and I wanted something less 'in your face'!

The script stamp is an old red rubber one - that old I have no idea which make it is.

The Bamboo are a mix from SU and Altenew.

I coloured the dragonfly with Aquarelle pencils and added a liberal helping of glossy accents onto the wings.

Hope you can join us - and do please visit my friends on the DT who have lots of lovely makes and are happy when you pop in!

Thanks for looking today and any comments you leave - I appreciate it. Have a lovely day whatever you're doing. x

Beautiful card Viv. The soft sponging of purple and green looks fantastic with your greenery and script. The Dragonfly is beautiful. xx

FABULOUS looking card. Love the script stamping and the bamboo corner plus the moon showing up that super dragonfly. Bet it looks even better IRL when you can appreciate the glossy accents!

Hugs, Sarnie xxx

A fabulous card Viv, the dragonfly image is stunning and I can imagine with the GA it will have a lovely sheen to the wings. Love the background, gorgeous colours.

You do scenic cards so well Viv, and I love the jewel like tones of the dragonfly against the moon, and with the wonderful silhouette foliage, and the green and purple background looks great with the softly stamped script and clusters of crosses...a beautiful card. x
