Feature artist for Anything but Cute's crazy for colour challenge.

I am totally delighted today to be the featured artist over at my great blogging friend and uber talented crafter Pamellia's anything but cute challenge. Their theme this month is "Crazy for colour". The hostess is Branka and below is her description for the requirements;

To celebrate the springtime, we would like you to create a mixed media project using vibrant colours! It can be a tag, a card, an art journal page or anything else! Just be sure it's vibrant! It's time to go 'crazy' with colours!

I am a crafter who is totally inspired by Mother Nature and the seasons. Spring is nearly upon us and the temperature is warming up nicely. I spied these ranunculus in the garden centre, such showy flowers...and yet they are a relative of the humble buttercup.

In my own garden I have several varieties of daffodil in bloom

 and my flowering current is out

Easter is nearly upon us so I decided to use the bold colours from my garden to make an Easter Money wallet. I used the wrinkle free distress ink technique to make the background. I then added several different colours through some spring themed Tim Holtz stencils.

I chose some bright yellow ribbon and added some stamping. I also embossed 2 Visible Image butterflies stamps which I coloured with pens. I also added some TH stamping and remnant rubs and CL die cuts too
Here is my finished piece.

And some close ups.

I would also like to link up my money wallet with these fun challenges;
