Let's get Shabby.................

Challenge 7 is up at lets get shabby and this time it's an inspiration challenge with a summer influence. I soooo luv'd the colours in this pic.......so inspiring. I just knew that I had kept this packaging from my DD's new dinner set for a reason......with a bit of yellow paint it made a perfect sun. (Well, at least, that is what I think it's supposed to be). I also added some cut up nylon bath sponge (thanks to Chimene's tutorial on one of her LO's a while back, I bought a couple of these sponges and put them in my "it could be handy" box). Made a perfect background.


Sponged some chippie alphas with brown, dark red and white and inked the edges in a dark brown. Made a little lollipop flower in the colours of the most obvious umbrella coz that is the first thing I thought of when I saw the pic I think......apart from the gorgeous colours. tfl

  15. OMG, you have truly captured the essence of the challenge. Love the "sun" rays right down to the layered flower and all in between.

    It is so nice to to be able to celebrate sunshine when the other side of the world has all the snow.
