Good morning to you all, it's time for our new challenge at Allsorts where this week Kath is hosting her first challenge with us and would like to see 'Circles'. Our sponsor is Crafty Ribbons and we also have some tickets to the NEC March Hobbycarft show to give away.
I love circle easel cards as well as Penny Black stamp which still remain my firm favourites and this beautiful Lily which is wood mounted and called First Dance is one I use often. After cutting the layers using Tattered Lace dies I stamped the Lily onto Fabriane watercolour card using Distress Markers and lightly inked the edges with the same colour which is Picked Raspberry. Using the same colours I stamped around the bottom section with Penny Black Twirls border set. After assembling I added a double bow, a Tattered Lace sentiment and a few pearls.
I also have a card for the current Butterfly Challenge where the theme is 'S for Stamping and /or Sapphire' and of course a butterfly or two.
I made an acetate stencil using different sized circle dies and sponged mustard seed and chipped sapphire distress inks through the mask and then using the same inks stamped a selection of Stamp Addict stamps, these sets came out some time ago and the tiny ones were ideal for purpose here. I finished the card off with some grosgrain ribbon and a few sequins.
Happy weekend all.

Great easel make Brenda and the Lily dancing away in the middle of the card is definitely cute. Second make is also cute and I love the double bow claiming centre stage.

What a swell idea to use various cirle punches to cut out your own stencil. (This could catch on your know!!) Love that you have used 'chipped sapphire' distress inks and those little stamps really do dome into their own on this card. You will b entered twice into the draw as you have used both elements on your card. Hugs Mrs A.
Forgot to mention before pressing the upload that I like your snazzily tied bow. hugs Mrs A.
Two lovely cards Brenda, I love the circle easel such a gorgeous image and beautiful colours. Have a good weekend.
