Guest DT for Try it on Tuesday 7/23/24 In the Garden

 I'm excited to share that today I'm the Guest DT over at Try it on Tuesday after being chosen in the Top Five for their Small Things challenge in June.  

Today the challenge is "In the Garden".  You can do any kind of project - as long as it has to do with a garden.

I recently purchased some new stamps from Claire Brennan Design and her Mush Love set fits the theme perfectly!  I'm always excited when I use something new right away!

(Claire Brennan was the owner/designer of Waltzingmouse Stamps.  And I'm happy to say she has started designing stamps and stencils again as Claire Brennan Design!)

I stamped the image and sentiment on a panel of white card and colored the images with Copics.  Then I laid my Milky Way Stencil from A Colorful Life Design over the panel and sponged around the image with Speckled Egg Distress Ink where the sky would be and with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink where the ground would be!  I added 3 black Tuxedo hearts around the image and white Nuvo Drops to the mushroom cap.

So please join in with us over at Try It On Tuesday "In the Garden" theme - you'll find lots of inspiration from the talented Design Team!  

And a big thank you to the Design Team for letting me 'play' with you for this challenge!


I'm also linking my card to:

This is adorable, Julia! I love this image and the stenciled background! I'm always excited to use something new before it becomes old stash. Sigh, I need to order less and use what I have.
