Saturday morning is upon us again which means it's time for a new challenge at Allsorts and this week it's my turn to host the theme and I thought I would thrown a little twist on things and set the DT a challenge of their own. I sent them all a little kit of bits and pieces which you can see below. The DP's varied slightly but all came from the same colour family, apart from that everyone had the same.
And the challenge for all you lovely crafters is to take inspiration from the kit and/or one of the DT's cards and tell us in your post what you opted for.
I was unusually frugal with my DP's and gutted the hidden section on the top card so I could made a second one and I also cut the TH clock in two so I could use a piece on both.
I created a nice messy background for the top card using distress inks then over stamped with a selection of stamps (listed below), inked the birdcage and stuck a piece of one of my three sheets of DY over the bird and cut it out. The butterflies are cut from the same DP as are the roses and border on the second one.
Have a lovely weekend and I hope you will find time to join in with this weeks challenge.

Gorgeous cards Brenda, love them both. Also love how you've used that PB stamp en the MD dies on your second card. I'm so happy I managed to lay my hands on this MD die set when I was visiting my "old" shop in the Netherlands.
Both cards are really beautiful Brenda, I like the cage on the first and the gorgeous flower on the second.
