Morning Peeps, this week I am hosting the theme at Allsorts and a few weeks ago I asked the DT if they would like a bit of a challenge themselves, well they seemed up for it so I sent them all a little kit of similar goodies to play with and see what they came up with. Needless to say they didn't disappoint..............not that for a moment I ever thought such a talented bunch would and you really must pop to the challenge blog and look what they all came up with.
Here's the kit they all received, the DP's varied slightly but are all DPs' are from the same MME Bluebell range so colours match and as one of our sponsors this week is Ruth from A Passion for Stamps I thought it a nice idea to send all the DT a die from her Tonic Pick of the Bunch range along with some petals to make flowers from her new Punch and Stamp Range (and yes I did send them all a copy of the instructions).
I used the TH fence and arched window and placed over an image which is one of the stamps Ruth created to go with the dies. I also went for pansie, I've probably said it before but I think the little stamps to go with the petals are so clever and make the pansies so realistic. As I told Ruth, praise indeed from my daughter who's not at all into crafting beyond regularly plundering my baskets for cards, but was very impressed with a card she spotted in my craft room using the pansies.
And the them is simple 'A Passion for Flowers' so leaves plenty of possibilities for your entries which I looks forward to seeing and our sponsors are A Passion for Stamps and Crafty Ribbons.
I also made a second card to use up the last piece of DP from the pad, another of Ruth's dies, an Artistic Outpost stamp, decoupaged the flowers and repeat stamped the little birdies from the bottom of the sentiment stamp to create a row to place across the bottom of the card.
And last but by no means least, here's this weeks candy, a little collection of Spring coloured ribbons, lace and embellishments, as usual a winners will be selected at random from all comments left during the week......... if you leave more than one then you get entered again, simple as that and the only other requirement is that......................
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Two beautiful cards Brenda. Those dies and stamps are amazing. I love pansies and am happy that most of the ones I panted here last summer have survived the winter and are doing well. One less job for this summer.
Have a great weekend.

Brenda, what fabulous cards, as always!! Your candy offer is beautiful, and I have linked up the logo according! Have a good weekend (come on Liverpool....)
Wow B, your cards are so beautiful. Thank you so much for such a brilliant challenge this week xxx
You've created two wonderful cards with fantastic layers.
those flowers are so gorgeous!
Your pansies look as if they were designed to be pansies (if you know what I mean) & I like the striking way in which you used that TH die-cut. However, it is the second that has to be my favourite - it's the bee & the sentiment plus the fact that the die-cut border for the sentiment reminds one of honeycomb - a lovely piece of imagery with the bee.

Hi Brenda, I looked at the first card and thought fantastic, gorgeous card. Love the pansies. One of my favourite flowers along with poppies (of course) and carnations. Then I scrolled down and found the second one and it's stunning too. I love the soft colours, the lovely DP and those gorgeous flowers.
Hope you're having a lovely weekend and most important taking care of yourself. Thanks for your visit to my blog and lovely comment.

Amazing cards, that first card has such detail. What a great challenge idea.
I so love the idea of a kit to send to each person! I think I am going to have to do this for a few friends here in Oz! Love it!
I absolutely love the second card though, the birds and the quote! So reminds me of the song!
OMG, thats a really fantastic and wonderful blog. I´m really thrilled and so happy that I´ve found you.
