This week we are challenging you to
Make A Rainbow
this theme can be interpreted in many ways, you could choose to actually paint a rainbow or use a rainbow of bright colours on your project. We will be looking forward to seeing how you interpret this challenge!
We are showcasing Tim Holtz Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in, but if you have them we would love to see them used!
Did you see Tim's latest release and his new Oxide Inks!? I ordered the whole set recently and guess what! They arrived TODAY!!! WOO HOO!! This was my birthday gift to myself, because I'm worth it 😜
If you need me you will find me in my crafty corner ;-)

I used a Tim Holtz Mini Frame to make a wall plaque using Mini Butterflies and Simon's Exclusive Rainbow and Chevron Cloud Dies
I started by colouring the rainbow using Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink Pads, it might not look exactly like a rainbow, but we are allowed some artistic license eh ;-)
For the background I used Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade. I then used Hickory Smoke and a Bubble Stencil and randomly stamped some script with black ink. When that was dry I used a Dot fade Stencil and White Embossing Paste.
I recently went to an art exhibition and the artist had pained his frames to extend his paintings, so I thought I would do the same. I applied gesso to the Mini Frame and then blended inks over it.
I have to say I do love this panel and it is now decorating my craft room ;-)
Thanks for looking!
