....UNPLUGGED!

I have just returned from the most 

AMAZING, EXHAUSTING, BEAUTIFUL vacation to Alaska, 

one could ever wish for. 

Not only were the sights good but the company was even better as I traveled 

with my Aunt, Mom and Seeeester!!

Not only was I unplugged for almost 2 weeks.....

I didn't create one blessed thing!!

That combination can make for a

rather irritable girl.

Upon return home....there were the mounds of laundry,

house cleaning, computer work....

so this morning, I was about to clean up my work surface

and I decided to have a 

create with what is on your work surface challenge...

so here it is....

my "misfits" tag!

Now....I am only allowed to use what is on my

crafting table....

I did pull out a pair of "Timmy" scissors 

and his Tiny Attacher!!

Now the colors I had to work with...

Radiant Rain ~ Shimmering Mist

Teal Zircon

Butternut

Radiant Rain ~ Color Concentrate

Jasper Red

Probably wouldn't have normally chosen this color combo....

but that's what sooo fun about this challenge!

The twine was a bright pink....

I toned it down with a bit of Butternut Shimmering Mist.

I had some Viva Decor Crackle paint there also...

along with the cardboard tag that already

had a background created 

with Precious Metal Effects Paint.

I randomly applied a layer of Base Coat for Porous Surfaces,

with my palette knife....good and messy like!

When dry....with the same palette knife I applied the 

Viva Colour ~ Crackle Paint....

but decided to try something....

I sprinkled on some Meridian Blue Primary Elements...

spritzed it with a bit of 

Gold Pearl Shimmering Mist.

REALLY like how it came out!!!

I just love the "Words" from Splash of Color....

you can say what you want!!

So I challenge YOU.....

What can you create with your misfits?????

Create something using only the things on your work surface.....you may add adhesives and simple tools if you need them!
