Starry Tree Filled Night

For today's entry, I'm sharing a page I created for Try it on Tuesday.  Their theme this fortnight is Twinkle, Twinkle and they explain it can be anything with:

Stars / Sparkles / Glitter/ Shiny things

Some of you may remember the washi tape I purchased at JoAnn's on Small Business Saturday.  What I didn't tell you was I knew what I would use these glittery tapes for when I purchased them.  I had a plan all along to make some shiny trees with these gold stars sent to me last year by my friend Valerie.

I got out my Stickles pearl paint and my Stickles ice, which is very sparkly, too.  Neither wanted to come out of their little bottles with the tiny holes, so I had to remove them using a bamboo skewer.  Not the best choice, but the only one I had.  I tried using a toothpick and that took far too long, so I quickly looked for something a bit larger.

What I didn't realize at the time was how much the Twinkling H2Os were going to bleed into the Stickles.

I used both a white Gelly pen and the Stickles pearl on the star in the sky.

I used my gold Sakura metallic Gelly Roll pen to create the tree trunks.  Since the trees were definitely intended to be Christmas trees, I also sharing them with Moo-Mania & More.

And because I feel like this is cause for celebration, I'm also joining Sheila at Orange Esmeralda, our wonderful host this month at Art Journal Journey with her theme Let's Celebrate.   This spread was created in my Challenges altered book.

I'm simply thrilled you have joined me today as I created art for Art Journal Journey, Moo-Mania & More, and especially Try it on Tuesday.   Maybe I'll see you at each of these places, too.
