A trio of.....

Good morning and welcome to my post for this weeks new challenge at Allsorts where Lorraine would like to see 'A Trio', so basically three of something on your entries. Prizes this month come from Oakwood, Highlight Crafts, AALL and Create and Craft Stash.

In an ideal World I would be showcasing some samples of this weeks AALL and Create new releases on Create and Craft. My plan was to use a couple for my Allsorts shares, but Evri had other ideas, as of this morning the stamps are still "in the dispatch hub" but that's were they've been for ages so I'm rather thinking that means lost. So instead I've used some previous releases. 

First above a double trio, one of Flowers and the other Hares in form form of AALL and Create Blousey Blooms and Long Eared Mammal which recently featured and quickly sold out at Create and Craft TV. Starting with a brayered Oxide background followed by stencilling using the negative elements (inking the stencil, spritzing with water and laying onto the background.....you need to give it a good rub with a piece of kitchen roll to achieve a decent transfer. The protractor shape image stamped with Versafine Acorn and a little more ink sponged to add definition, two Hares stamped and cut out to tuck behind the three flowers and the silhouette Hare stamped in the same ink down the bottom, Finally words and numbers from Power of the Word.

A second share that was sitting in my folder and seemed to fit the theme rather well so thought I would share. Have to admit I love the contrasts of colour on this one using Peacock Feathers and Ripe Persimmon oxides. A masked and inked central panel with a soft stencilled pattern, then three flowers from AALL and Create Textures Florals stamped onto an inked offcut inked with Ripe Persimmon. The circle element is from the same set, again stamped onto an offcut and cut out, but this time coloured with a matching Distress Pencil. The little birdies are from Friendship Florals and another quote from the Power of the Word.

Finally a couple of recent TRR samples, above using the new In Spirit and Spring Awakening dies which I would like to enter into the current Flower Challenge which would like to see dies or stencils along with flowers.

This one again uses elements from Spring Awakening along with Small World from the Wherever the Wind Blows collection released this week and Touched by the Rain. The base card is construction acetate with an aperture cut in the centre.

Have a good weekend.
