Spots and stripes


Morning Peeps, Saturday morning so a new challenge at Allsorts and this week Dena has chosen our theme of 'Spots and/or Stripes. Prizes for this week and the last couple of challenges will be announced on 27th January and there are goodies from OakwoodStamp AddictsSizzix and AALL and Create.

For the above card I used a Gelli Plate and Acrylic background stamping AALL and Create Delight in Flora onto the base, placed a strip of the lovely mesh I source from one of hubby's greenhouses, then stamping again onto snippets/offcuts and paper piecing. The word is from the same set onto a snippet of white card as is the circle with the letter 'F' from Textured Florals

The sentiment is from my Moments stamp set available from Stamp Addicts following the link or from Create and Craft.

Have a good weekend everyone and thanks for your kind visits.

Ciao Brenda, è una card deliziosa nei toni delicati del rosa e quei tocchi di verde brillante le danno molta luce. Bellissimo lo sfondo e il pezzo di rete che hai preso dall'orto di tuo marito aggiunge sicuramente un tocco speciale.
Buon weekend! Qui fa molto freddo, anche se di giorno c'è il sole.

A beautiful choice of colours for this floral design Brenda, I must find time to get my Gelli plate out and have a play with it, I've had it about 4 years and it hasn't seen the light of day yet!

What an interesting stamp against that intriguing background, B! Your color choices look amazing, but it is just as fabulous in its simplicity stamped on your envelope!
