Colour Inspiration at Craft Room Challenge this fortnight

Hi Everyone..........Thanks for dropping in to my crafty corner in blogland. I truly appreciate your visits and I know I haven't been visiting as often as I should lately, but as I work full time that is not always easy. Please excuse me for that and I will drop in as soon as I can x
This fortnight at Craft Room Challenge my DT Roomie, Amber, is hosting the challenge theme, which is Colour Inspiration, using Spring Colours. PLease click HERE to view Amber's Colour Inspiration Challenge. 
Our sponsor this month is Stamp Addicts and as always we have a random winner and Top 3.  

Here is my DT project
 It's not quite as Pink as seen here under artificial light. I painted the canvas with Pickled Raspberry Distress Paint, toned down with Walnut Stain DI. Mowed Lawn was used through some Tim Holtz Stancils, Dot Fade and School House.  The torn napkin has many of the Spring Colours shown by Amber and was adhered with Ranger Glue 'n' Seal. 
ART was cut from some TH lost and found papers, then adhered to some cardboard and distressed around the edges with Walnut Stain.
Some fabric from Prima, obtained at a Finnabair Workshop, was torn and coloured with Mowed Lawn DI and attached with small screws. (the chain and key were in my stash) 
The Idea-ology plate, dragonfly and key were painted with Wild Honey Distress paint, then I took some Treasure Gold wax to highlight a few areas.

THank You once again for dropping in and I do hope you can join us over at Craft Room Challenge. 
It would be great to see you there plus you can also view some more fabulous inspiration from the very talented DT members

  16. This is such a pretty canvas Annie! You know how much I love pink and to have an entire background in pink makes me swoon! I love how it has a vintage feel and is still bright and springy.
