Allsorts Challenge #708/9


Hi everyone, it’s Christmas Eve, and time for a new Allsorts Challenge - the last one for 2022! Thanks to everyone who joined in with my challenge theme last week .. it was great to see all your entries πŸ’•

Today we have a 2 week challenge so that the DT can get some well earned rest and family time over the festive period, and we'll hopefully be recharged and ready to go for 2023!  Brenda has chosen the theme and it is

*** Clean and Simple (CAS) ***

The festive season is a busy time for many people, but if you get even the smallest amount of crafting time we hope the CAS theme will enable you to join us.

We are finishing the year in style with not 1, not 2 but THREE fab prizes for this fortnight donated by our lovely patrons:

First a stamp set from AALL & Create


Secondly a stamp and die set from Highlight Crafts



Finally we have 3 digi images of a winner's choice from Ruth Hamilton Design


Here's my card for this fortnight, using a new Visible Image stamp set I treated myself to in the Black Friday sale 😍


This card really is as simple as it gets … I stamped the focal image onto a square of card using two colours of Versafine Clair, stamped the smaller background stamp to add a little interest, then added a stamped sentiment and couple of teeny heart gems πŸ’• Finally I edged the image panel with black marker pen and matted onto two matching colours of card stock.  

I have to say I’m really impressed with this stamp set .. the large flower has a real wow factor, and there is another flower, background and wording stamps waiting to be played with on another occasion! 😍

Stamps: Visible Image - Where Flowers Bloom; 
Media: Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Charming Pink, Summertime).
