Good morning everyone, Saturday is here so it's time for this week's Allsorts Challenge. Dena has chosen the theme and it is
*** Anything Goes with the option Trees and Leaves ***
This week we have 2 fab prizes on offer - one is a £15 store voucher from WOWVOW
The other is this beautiful floral stencil.
Here's my card for this week.
As you can see I did my best to incorporate both trees and leaves on this week's offering, whilst pushing forward with another Christmas card!. I used a circle stencil and torn paper to create my background with Distress Oxide inks, then used a home-made negative circle mask to stamp my trees and holly with a mixture of first and second generation stamping. I removed the mask to stamp my fir cone branch round the edge of the circle and my individual pinecones in the corner, then I stamped my star using Versamark and heat embossed with silver pearl embossing powder. I highlighted all the trees and fir cones with my trusty Sakura Stardust pen, and coloured the holly berries with a red stardust pen. I also added a little more subtle sparkle with my new Spectrum Noir glitter brush pen by painting the snow banks. Finally I stamped my sentiment, then replaced my negative circle mask to add Posca pen spatter for snow. When dry I matted simply onto dusky blue glitter card and attached to my card base.
This card is even more sparkly than my usual offerings - here is an angled pic.
