colour scheme for That Craft Place Challenge

Hello there!

This is my post for the That Craft Place Challenge which starts today - there is a colour palette to stick to if you wish to enter the challenge:



I really enjoyed making the piece I made for this challenge and its currently hanging on my bedroom wall.


I made a canvas and started by making some papers with my gelli plate - I used two colours of acrylic paint and made up a light blue by mixing a darkblue and some white. I made my prints using both sequin waste and a mask from That Craft Place - you can't see the image here because its all been cut up. I cut the prints up and backed them onto either brown or blue card. I made the central part of the canvas on paper that I coloured with distress inks then stamped using a script stamp from Crafty Individuals. Then I used a second mask from That Craft Place and added Gold shimmer texture paste from Cosmic shimmer.


On top of this paste once dry I added some metallic pan pastels - then I stamped the dylusions sentiment and cut it out and fixed it.


The heart came from That craft place and I coloured it with distress ink - antique linen/teadye. I made the flowers using the tattered florals die from TH and also cut leaves using the tattered leaves die. Then I assembled the whole thing on a 10 x 8 canvas. I hope you like it as much as I do!
