Double Tuesday once again

Hi everybody!

It's time for another edition of 'Double Tuesday' - the challenges at Tag Tuesday and Try it on Tuesday.

At Tag Tuesday our theme is cooking. The pretty image I have used is from heartfelt creations, the cherry pie die cuts and the kitchen tools were in my my stash. I thought it was appropriate to use bakers' twine to tie the tools to the tag. The wooden spoon and cherry pie have been fixed with foam squares to give more dimension.

At Try it on Tuesday our theme is springtime. I have made a journal using some embossed chipboard covers. I painted the covers with cream acrylics, and then  used my diamond stencil with mineral structure paste. The little birds are tissue transfers, which I varnished with crackle glaze, before distressing with DI in forest moss. The journal has been filled with watercolour paper. I kept the embellishments simple - a ribbon binding a few charms and a flourish with a daisy.

On my walk through the park today I enjoyed seeing how high the grass and flowers are growing on the meadows. These meadows do not get mowed during the growing season, the grass and flowers are allowed to grow wild, which I just love.

 And as usual, the horses in the moat were busy eating and having a good time:

Have a good day, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
