Happy 11th Birthday Allsorts Challenge

Morning Peeps, it's Saturday and time for a new challenge at Allsorts where this week Lynn is hosting our belated Birthday celebrations. 

This should have taken place way back in May but we felt it wasn't the right time with the World trying to come to terms with a Pandemic. We have a wonderful prize of a set of 96 Arteza brush pens, plus a couple more prizes as well. There are also prizes to be won in the individual DT's blogs, so do make sure you pop round and visit the team.......my giveaway is further down and I will announce the winner next Saturday from those who follow my blog and have left a comment on this post.

Our theme is 'I Love................' and what we would like to see are creations displaying what you love to do in your crafting, be it design and style, type of image, colours, there are endless options. My "I Love............" comes in the form of Inks, Flowers, Bold Colours and a bit of Grunge, all of which are encompassed into both of my creations.

The top card has an Oxide and Acrylic paint background along with some stencilling, the Penny Black blooms stamped onto an inked piece of card, cut out and placed onto the base and the stems drawn in with a black Distress Marker. The sentiment is also PB stamped onto black card and embossed with details white EP. The black spots are one of the worker stamps from CB Make your Mark and the numbers Small Graph Paper, I have used these sets so many times since their release earlier this year

One if our sponsors is Pinksy Doodles a new venture by Clair who used to be one of our DT's. She kindly sent the DT some of her papers to use so my second creation which is also one of my samples from Thursday's Chocolate Baroque One Day Special on Hochanda encompasses two sheets paper pieced onto one of the new Blueprint stamps. A lightly brayered background to one side of the card and some script using a stencil and texture paste. After stamping I added the flowers and leaves cut from the papers, coloured the stems and a bit of shading to the brickwork. The silhouette sentiment is from the same set and each of the four new sets has one to match the flower. The 'No 4' is a worker stamp from one of the new Blueprint sets but I confess I am not sure which one......I do keep my stamps on sheets in sets well catalogued but afraid some of the tiny ones do tend to get mixed up..........you can but imagine the problem I have with Butterflies and sentiments!

My giveaway for the winner selected by Random Org., from the comments left on my blog will receive this Altenew stamp set.

I do hope you are going to join in our celebration challenge this week and look forward to seeing all your "I Love's".
