It's been quite a while since I have been able to carve out the time to participate in Color Play Friday (or blogging regularly in general). :-/ I'm happy to have jumped onto this week's event. I love the bold color of the flower and decided to stick with floral as my inspiration, in addition to the color palette I pulled from the photo.
I have to say, that black print that I chose isn't working for me 100%... it's got little blue bits. Hm. The photo on the Hawthorne site showed it a little more pale and the blue bits looked green to me. I'm leaving it in because I *do* like seeing the pale red and gold to complement the first two fabrics.
In other news, why do I still not own any Painters Canvas!?
I created my palette with Palette Builder 2.1 by Play Crafts.

I hear you on the Painter's Canvas. I have a little piece of it, but I always go back to it for CPF. I should have a lot more than I do!

Great palette this week! I know what you mean about Painters Canvas. It keeps creeping into my CPF bundles and every week it seems like I'm asking myself why I don't own any yet!

Post authorWe Sarahs should definitely remedy that problem with our stashes. :-)
