French Country Canvas

Decided to make myself a few new canvas's to go in the kitchen. I love these Graphic 45 papers and they are a perfect match for my rustic style kitchen.
The background colour is a mixture of guacamole,chocolate pudding and orchid Fresco paints, spritzed with water then blended together for an aged look.
I'm entering this in to Ali-Crafts first challenge, anything goes.

Dragons Dream TIO Challenge #141 Yellow, Lightbulbs and Wire

Here we are again with a new challenge over at the Dragons Dream TIO blog. This time we would love to see "Yellow, Lightbulbs and Wire" on your tag along with at least one real stamp. This theme was chosen by the very talented Monique.

I started off with a piece of Kraftcard and painted it with Mustard Seed Distress Crackle paint. I then added a mix of Creative Expressions gilding waxes around the edge to tone down the very bright yellow.
All the stamps I used are by Hampton Art and were bought last weekend at Port Sunlight at the Festival. It was great to catch up with so many Friends and get to see so many beautiful samples up close in the flesh, so to speak, even though I was feeling lousy, it cheered me up no end, well apart from the one miserable old git, but we won't go there! Nearly forgot the lightbulbs are the old rusty ones from my Christmas Icicles, and as they have wires sticking out of them already, I thought they would be perfect.
Pop over to the challenge blog via the link on my sidebar and check out what my fab team mates have created, they really are an amazing bunch!
