Morning everyone, this week sees our 800'th challenge at Allsorts so we are keeping the theme simple with Anything Goes. To celebrate the milestone we have a few extra prizes from AALL and Create.
I've gone bright and zesty with the above card using AALL and Create Floral Flyer (1171), Wiggle and Dance (1174) and die Heart Marks the Spot (46). I cut the base die twice in black, scored one about a third of the way down and glued the two together to create what I think is called a tent fold (sure Liz can tell me). The Butterflies are stamped and coloured, glitter added to the thorax and coordinating rub ons (8) used to create a quick background
This uses one of the new Lavinia sticker stencils and stamps, this stencil is in set 8 but if you buy the bundle of four stencils you also get the stopper stamp. After inking the bottle with Versafine I stamped Leaf Spray in the background, Group Poppies in Orange and lower down Wild Poppies with grey ink and then painted over with white acrylic, an idea I saw a few places on Pinterest. I continued stamping outside the bottle and added Every Dream sentiment.
Kidney op update, it's becoming a work of fiction! Cancelled again, this time because my BP wouldn't play ball, White Coat normal for me in a medical environment but usually settles, not this time. Sent off to GP (shocked to get two face to face appointments in three days), he's reluctant to change meds as they control it (usually). So appointment Monday to see where we go from here as it's become urgent they say.

800 challenges - certainly a milestone to mark. Two beautiful cards and I really love the poppies in a jar, clever colouring work here. Sorry to hear you've had another setback - hope it all works out for you very soon.
The contrast between the black frame and the vibrant colours on the butterflies is beautiful,love the touches of colour in the background.The colours on the poppy look amazing. Hope your appointment on Monday goes well,after all the delays and cancellations I'm not surprised your BP is raised
Love the muted colours and stamps on the second card but WOW the first one looks amazing-love the die-cut shape, great background and and such vibrant beautiful butterflies.
Sorry to hear about the latest cancellation and hope you are soon sorted.

Two very different cards colourwise. Both works of art but my favourite is the gorgeous soft palette of the second. Hope all goes well for you on Monday x
I just love this green and black beauty with the hints of blue. The wonky card base is fabulous and all the details are amazing. Loving that 2nd card too with the sticker stencils and stamps. Both are fantastic. I have white coat syndrome too and my b/p soars every time I have to go near a doctor or medical facility, but rapidly settles down after I leave so I understand this. I do hope things soon work out for you with good results. It's no fun being frightened all the time with bad news, delays, and repeated roadblocks. Take good care and congrats on 800 challenges, wow!
Oh no Brenda, can't believe your op has had to be cancelled. I'm not at all surprised your BP is high after all you've been through, hope Monday goes well.
Both cards are beautiful, wonderful vibrant butterflies, love the jar of flowers on the second, beautiful stamping, stencilling and colours.
Wowza gorgeous butterfly and colors on the first card. It really pops. Love the vase card.
