Music at Craft-Room

The time has come round for another Craft-Room Challenge, though I'm a bit late getting this out there as Mr Blogger ate my scheduled post! I loved visiting all your sparkly creations for the last challenge, the winners will be announced next Tuesday. 

Our challenge this time is sponsored by Tando Creative and has been selected by Hazel who has chosen music, which is a favourite theme of mine. I've been in a bit of a creative slump recently - not been crafting much, so this was a perfect theme to get me going again. Because I've been struggling I chose one of my favourite colour combinations and a tag because I do love making them, the weather has been so sunny this inspired the spring feel and of course getting inky and stamping are always my fav things to do..This was just what I need to get me back into the crafty zone and here is what I came up with - 

I coloured with distress stains first of all and used a Tando Creative sequin waste mask to sponge distress inks through before stamping with a music stamp and flourishes. The Chipboard butterfly is also from Tando.

After colouring the chipboard with distress stains I sponged on a couple of colours of acrylic paint using one of those netty shower scrub thingys (can you tell I don't know what to call it !). 

Tando Creative have a great range of Chipboard and high quality masks and have donated this great prize for the winner of our challenge - 

Pop over to the Craft-Room Challenge site to see the fab inspiration from my teamies - including the newest addition to our Design team, Suzanne who we were very excited to welcome for her first challenge this week.
