Morning everyone, time for another challenge at Allsorts and it's the first of two which will run for two weeks during August. Lorraine would like us to create our own background, inks, stencils all manner of options there. There's a prize of a £15 store voucher from WOWVOW.
Not a new make above, but not previously blogged and one I enjoyed making as I am right at home creating backgrounds, in fact DP's terrify me. To begin with I can never choose and once I do I'm never quite happy with how it looks alongside my stamping.
All stamps are Lavinia stamped with Versfaine Claire onto the Oxide background and circle masks used to create the moon with auras.
My second card using the Freesia from one of the new AALL and Create releases called Delight in Flora. Background brayered with two shades of Oxide, the focal element stamped, some stencilling and stamped script (second generation), the bloom paper pieced using an inked offcut, along with the sentiment and letter F onto a punched circle which I covered with Glossy Accents and matching envie. The set is not loaded onto the A&C website yet, but is available from Create and Craft here.
And one final share which was for Hightlight Crafts using lots of Two Red Robin dies to create a summer meadows scene.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.

So beautiful are all your cards
ReplyDeleteI tuoi sfondi sono sempre bellissimi e un tutt'uno con le tue timbrate, fa parte del tuo stile inconfondibile e sempre molto interessante!! Sai che adoro le tue scene di fate, riesci sempre a creare un ambiente perfetto per loro, così magico!! Mi piace tantissimo l'effetto della lna con le sue aure e quelle piccole bolle/gocce aggiungono movimento e magia alla splendida scena! Stupenda così monocromatica nelle tonalità del verde!!
ReplyDeleteBellissime tonalità nella card con i timbri AALL and Create, dolci e solari! E inconfondibile design con gli stencils, il paper piecing delle fresie (fiori che amo moltissimo!!)e i cerchi!
L'ultima card con le fustelle e le immagini di Two Red Robin è davvero rilassante e deliziosa, la rete rotta con l'uccellino e i fiori sono stupendi!! Amo sempre queste scene campestri e hai creato una bellissima atmosfera!
Spero tu abbia un buon weekend e che la tua salute stia migliorando giorno per giorno!! Abbracci!
