Good morning everyone, and welcome to a new Allsorts Challenge. Due to the school holidays we have another two week challenge for you this time - Brenda has chosen the theme and it is
*** Anything Goes with option of Roses ***
A lovely option where we hope you may be inspired by all the summer roses blooming in the garden!
This week we have 2 fabulous prizes - first from Oakwood Direct
Here's my card for this week.
I don't own a lot of stamps featuring roses, and although I love this one I'm always a bit unsure how to use it ... with its background stamping it demands to be cut into a panel which will form a card topper, but I can't seem to make it work with my design papers (probably as I’m so out of practice using them I’ve forgotten what I have!!). I therefore kept it simple and placed it on a simple stencilled background.
Firstly I created a smoosh panel with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide and Antique Linen Distress ink, then stamped my image with Vintage Sepia Versafine and heat embossed. I coloured the flower with distress inks, then distressed the edges with my distress tool and edged the panel with more DI. I spattered the image panel with gold Posca pen then matted it onto some rose gold card stock which I cut into a deckle edge, and adhered to my card base which I had stencilled with DI. Finally I stamped my sentiment and heat embossed in gold, and added a few heart gems.
Here is an angled picture to show the gleam ... it also shows that my spattering went a bit unpredictable which sadly is a problem I tend to have all too often!

Such a pretty card! It has a lovely vintage feel with the muted colours and gold splatters - gorgeous 😊. Thanks so much for joining in the fun at Try it on Tuesday! Hugs Jo x
A great idea to use stencilling as a background for this stamp. It looks beautiful.
I think the stencilling is a beautiful background to showcase that wonderful stamp Pauline, it needs nothing more.

I have a stamp like this too that I feel limited in the way to use it and even though I love it I very rarely reach for it.
But you've done a fabulous job with this one. The stenciling adds the perfect design on the background and love the golden spatter and the way you framed it.
Stenciling is just right to add and not distract from that beautiful image. I love text around and the rose gold is so pretty, Pauline.
How beautiful and sweet, love how you matched the scripted rose with the half stencilled background and the gold touches! I know very well how the splatters are unpredictable :) but yours look great!
Thanks for joining us at We Love Stamping!

Hi Pauline, your image is just gorgeous and the card is perfect! Really like the half stencilling, it does match well with the script on the background of the stamp. I also have stamps like this, brought because I like the look of them but then no idea how to best use them!
