Morning Peeps, time for our new challenge at Allsorts where Ellie has chosen the theme of 'CAS with the option of Elegance' and there is a chance to win a £15 store voucher kindly donated by WOWVOW as well as another prize of an AALL and Create stencil.
My first card was a recent make for Fairy Hugs and features Olivia sitting atop Ink Cap Mushrooms reading her book and doing a bit of daydreaming. The wordage dies are a new Gemini alphabet set I purchased a couple of weeks ago, I've had my eye on it for ages but at nearly £50 a considered buy, but Colemans Warehouse recently had them 20% off so I went for it.
Above another of the Stamps by Me images I received for Christmas, this is one of their lamination stamps which also has a matching die. I used Versafine Clair Morning Mist for the first layer stamping and then Glamorous for the second layer and carried that colour to the die cut mat. The sentiment is from the same set.
And a few shares of the upcoming Oakwood and Stampendous TV shows on Sunday at 3pm and 7pm and Tuesday the iCraft show is at 7pm, although things are liable to change during the merger so as well to double check.

ReplyDeleteThe first card is really CAS yet very dramatic in black and red. The “wish” word die is fantastic- can see why you wanted it!!!

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful cards and I like all your techniques, as always.
ReplyDeleteCiao Brenda, la tua CAS per Allsorts è davvero impressionante con la tecnica che hai usato per la parola WISH!! Bellissima la fata sul fungo che sogna con il libro in mano! Una scena davvero bella con un solo colore!! I gigli nella seconda card chiamano la Primavera, speriamo che arrivi presto, anche se qui da me non ha piovuto abbastanza e rischiamo un'estate sen'acqua! Mi piace molto il sentiment coordinato.
ReplyDeleteBellissime anche le card che hai preparato per lo show in Tv, mi piace specialmente quella a stencil! Sei sempre così d'ispirazione!
Spero che tu abbia un bel weeekend di sole da godere nel tuo giardino!! Abbi cura di te...
