I am so excite to be this months challenge host for the OCC. Coming up with the theme for this months challenge came to me while out working in my garden.
Here in the United States we are coming into spring - the
season when nature comes forth with new life.
Soft green grasses grow in the fields and the trees bloom in
glorious colors with the promise of fruit.
Tulips and daffodils emerge from the soil after a long
winters nap.
The colors of spring, the sights and sounds of nature at
this time of the year renews my soul.
In the spring time the colors of nature are different around
the world.
For my challenge this month I want you to
Color Your World
For this challenge create a project with the colors of
spring time where you live.
Show us what colors renew your soul
Our wonderful sponsor this month is
and they are offering a $25 gift certificate
to our randomly drawn winner this month! Also more goodies for the top three winners as well.
Thank you

I love the warm sunny days that come with Spring. They're always so welcome after many months of cold and rainy days. So my first thought for the canvas was to add a feeling of sunshine.
Staring with an 8 x 10 canvas, I added a coat of Gesso and a mask from TCW called Butterflies to add one more layer of texture. Using Distress Sprays from Ranger, the hues of yellow sunshine came alive on the canvas. Now for more colors in my world, greens and splashes of pink.
Every Spring setting around me this time of year has flowers and this canvas is no exception. The chipboard words tell my story of the peaceful feeling Spring brings to me.
