Feb 123 Challenge!

Once I saw the criteria, I couldn't resist the Feb 123 challenge! I had an idea right away, and a coupled with a burst of creativity, I managed to get it complete within a couple of days. (My patience was tested as it took LOTS of drying time, as it has been so wet & humid here this week.)

Here's what I came up with (and yes, it's a canvas!)...


The criteria for the challenge were the colour FUSCHIA...

(I SO love these chippie mushrooms from Dusty Attic, which I painted then coated in crackle paint)

 the word FRESH or FREE...

(I am glad you can see some of the gold shimmer paint I used for highlights, it was hard to show in the pic!)

and last but not least, FRAYING or FRILLS...

(I thought this frayed mesh would add some great texture to my canvas)

I REALLY enjoyed this challenge and creating this canvas (which Miss B tells me is going to hang in her room...LOL), and might see if I can complete another one this week (between packing boxes!) :-)
