Morning Peeps, time for our new Allsorts challenge and this week Tracy is our host and has chosen the theme of 'Pretty in Pink'. Our winner will receive a pretty set of floral layering stamps from Buddly Crafts.
Sorry I've been a tad quiet around your blogs this week but I've been knee deep in design team samples for upcoming Hochanda TV shows, can't spill too many beans yet other than to say Pete Simpson of Artisan Designs has some stunning new floral stamps and sentiments and Ken Moody also has a new release later this month. And Lesley from Chocolate Baroque will be back on our screen on Monday and Tuesday, if I tell you I ended up with 25 samples you will know I enjoyed working with the stamps.................and just maybe there is a Poppy or two!!
I was going floral but had a Fairy moment one day and came up with this. After creating the base card using a score board and a circle die I used Oxide Inks to create the background on the mat panels which I cut slightly smaller. Then stamped the scene using a mainly Lavinia stamps with the exception of the small Hare which is Inkylicious and the bottom border which is Chocolate Baroque. All stamping is done with Versafine Black and the pink Versafine Clair.

And here are the tags I made to go in with our Birthday prizes when they are posted out, those who have been a winner at any of my challenges will know that I always tuck a little gift card or tag inside the package, so I made an extra batch and tried to keep them mostly pink to fit Tracy's theme. Oxide ink backgrounds, tags cut with a TL die, Lavinia Fairy's and also an Inkylicious one and lots of stencilling.
In two weeks on 18th May we will be celebrating Allsorts 10th Birthday and have a two week challenge planned. We think it's quite an achievement to reach our milestone so are making the challenge rather special with some really fabulous prizes so please do grab the logo above and help us spread the word.

Pretty in pink?? They are beautiful! on tenterhooks, looks like we'll miss out by a point.. gut-wrenching!
You're so productive Brenda, puts me to shame... Fabulous creations, the circular scene being a favourite, both because it's a scene, and the circular shape is original. Real life is keeping me busy with less than happy stuff at the moment but I hope I will be joining with the Allsorts celebrations, a great credit to you and your team that the challenge is still going strong after all these years. xx
Love these magical scenes, beautiful creations;-))m
