Allsorts Challenge #679


Good morning everyone, and welcome to another weekly Allsorts Challenge. This week Lorraine has chosen the theme and it is

*** Anything Goes with option of Sun, Sea & Sand ***

This week's prize is a Marianne Design stamp set plus a Sweet Dixie stencil


Here's my card for this week - I have gone with the "Anything Goes" option, but have chosen to showcase the stencil that is one of this week's prizes.


I stencilled through the Sweet Dixie stencil using a mix of three colours of Distress Oxide ink, then stamped my flowers and sentiment using Versafine Clair. I matted onto two layers of co-ordinating pearlised cardstock, and finished off with co-ordinating punched butterflies and gems ... a pretty simple card from me this week!

Stamps: Unity Stamps "Insightful Meadows"; Penny Black "Firends Matter";
Media: Tim Holtz Distress oxide inks (Kitsch Flamingo, Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Warm Breeze, Charming Pink);
Tools: Sweet Dixie stencil - "Fern Flourish"; X-Cut butterfly punch.

Creative Moments #234 - Summer's Here
