Good morning everyone, this week at Allsorts Donna has selected the theme of 'Create your own background' and as always theres the A/G option. Our prizes are a set of background stamps from AALL and Create.
I have used a Visible Image stamp called Calm over Chaos which I stamped with Clair black and then used two different stencils and Clair inks to create the background. The words come from the same stamp set as does the Cherry Blossom across the top.
This was my first make using Mutifarious card. I was happy to have the opportunity to try it out and have to say I'm pretty impressed, it's 350gsm and seems to take everything you throw at it without any warp. And the very best part for me as I usually cut all my own stamping pieces from A3 or A4 cardstock, is it comes in a variety of ready cut sizes in packs of 20.
And an ATC using A&C Ephemera Floral Confetti and Enchanting Larking rub on's over an inked offcut.
Am making a last minute dash to Rudolph Days challenge. A floral wreath onto a Gelli Plate background using the Spin tool, several Lavinia Mini stamps, Holly, Clair inks and a Penny Black sentiment. In a tidy up after Christmas I found a box under a spare bed ....sure I'm not alone in spreading craft all over the house! I'm pretty sure the contents are pre-Covid when I used to run regular classes and among other things it contained several dozen sheets of one sided pearlescent card. It's not something I use these days so used the white side to made a whole pile of backgrounds, this being one of those.

A lovely selection of assorted backgrounds all used to good effect.
WOW - LOVE that calm and peaceful first card of the post!
Your pretty floral ATC is gorgeous, as is the festive make for Rudolph Day. Bonus find of stash under your bed! xxx
Such a serene and beautifully balanced collection of makes. The Calm over Chaos panel is especially striking with the layered stenciling adding so much depth behind the silhouette. The cherry blossom detail softens everything in the loveliest way. Your ATC has wonderful movement and texture, and the Rudolph Days wreath looks radiant on that Gelli Plate background. What a great rediscovery under the bed, and you put that pearlescent stash to excellent use.
