Oops! I missed this morning’s post – so sorry Sad smile

It’s Week 2 at Try it on Tuesday and we’re continuing our theme of ‘Childhood’. I journalled a page…

EVERY BREATH 1

… using my new (to me) Unity Stamps again. It’s a very simple page, with white stencilling and a few water droplets, using three colours of Oxides. The grass is a  bit heavy but I struggled to find the time to play. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it Winking smile

We’d love you to join us in this challenge – children images are so much fun to play with!

I’ve been making rainbows! After showing Mum how easy the Oxides are to blend, I ended up with a few backgrounds to play with, so I made these cards with them.

RAINBOW LOVE

This one was made with the Impression Obsession Challenge (Rainbows) in mind, but I changed my mind about the words I was using at the last minute and didn’t use the IO words I intended to, so it’s no longer eligible.The image is from IO but the words are from a UK company, whose name I’ll add in later, when I can remember…

RAINBOW FORGIVEN

This one was made with an ‘Autumn’ challenge in mind.

RAINBOW SHROOMS

I spotted this stamp – along with some others – on someone’s blog and had to have this one!  It’s a Sheena stamp, though I confess I’ve done my best to remove the sketch lines around and through the images – a bit too much à la Tim Holtz ‘Blueprints’ for me.

Isn’t he gorgeous?

HARE 1

Last but not least, a little Bible Journalling I was inspired to do after reading Psalm 16, yesterday. I used my own basic lettering, so it isn’t brilliant but I love the verse, so I’m happy with it.

PSALM 16

This post is a real joy Cath, the stencil you used on the first is such a great idea for giveing the appearance of the wind blowing her hair.

Of course I love all the rainbow colours of the next three cards, the Hare is a beauty and then the journal page with the Digitalis which after Poppies are my favourite flowers.
