Stencils at Allsorts


Good morning, time for a new challenge at Allsorts where Donna would like us to use Stencils. Prizes are very fittingly an assortment of stencils.

Another using Lavinia's new Loomweavers collection, the skirts and bodies are quite addictive, more so than I expected and I found myself stamping lots onto DP offcuts to mix and match. Stamped the focal elements, coloured and paper pieced the skirt and bodice and stencilled the wall. Cut it Up would like Critters and of course a die cut (base card) and Animals for Craft Rocket.

Above a very sweet pair of little ones, a recent'ish Andy Skinner release which I couldn't resist, as is my norm I made several from the stamps in this purchase so had them ready (just in case). This one called Imagination, stamped, coloured with Zig Clean Colour pens, stencilling for the wall (different one to wall above!) and a few Lavinia flowers and leaves to built the scene.

There's a new kid on the block, this is Aurora 15.1 hh, a four year old Pinto filly, (the black marks on her withers are shadow from the tree, not part of her!) recently covered so hopefully excitement next Spring with a little one! The boys rather enjoy a new girl about the place.

The paper‑pieced Loomweavers skirt looks fantastic against the stenciled wall, and your mix‑and‑match DP offcuts give the figure such personality; the sweet Andy Skinner critters on the second card are colored beautifully with Zig pens, and the added Lavinia florals make the whole scene feel warm and imaginative.

What fun stamps!
I've been to a few brick and mortar stores on my travels and have not seen those!
Hi Aurora!

Fabulous card with the new collection, love the colours. A sweet AS card which looks lovely combined with the Lavinia flowers. Pretty new horse too!
