Find My Soul

Merry Christmas to everyone, hope your all prepared for the upcoming festivities.  It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.

So I thought I would use this open theme to have a play with inks, I dabbed Distress Oxides on to an acrylic block then pressed on to some card for the background.  I wanted to use a verse that I liked fom Inkylicious then just added some trees.

In A Jar!

I do hope everyone is managing to avoid this dreaded Norovirus, so near to Christmas too.  I have my son at home with it, and they have closed his school till the 6th of January to give it a deep clean and try to stop the virus spreading any further.
So It's time for me to share my mid month creations for Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Anything Goes', it couldn't be any easier, I had a play with a mixture of stamps, I liked this mason jar which was a magazine freebie but then was looking for some bugs to put in as originally it was going to be a 'Have You Caught A Bug' card.  I couldn't find the right bug stamps but then came across these Inkylicious fairies to use, then came the scene and it all came together on a Distress Oxide background. I covered the mason jar with some Glossy accents to give it a glass like look.

We have sponsorship this Month from

And now onto my second challenge creation for Penny black & More @ Allsorts, where the theme is 'Flowers All over'  I went with these Penny Black Sunflowers, I made my own background using a Lavinia leaf stamp and some Distress Oxides.  The sentiment is a Penny Black one too.

We have prizes from Penny Black & Bee Crafty . Now isn't that good prizes, definitely worth getting your stamps out isn't it!!!!!!

Hungry Like The Wolf!

This week is our lovely Ellie's turn to host and she would like to see 'Inspired By A Song'

I really didn't want to make another Christmas card, so I though I'd do something from the 80's, my favourite era.  Then it come to me my favourite group from my teens Duran Duran, and Hungry Like The Wolf'  meant I could use my wolf stamps from Inkylicious''.  I started by making a background using Brusho's, then made up a scene by mixing Inkylicious and Lavinia stamps.
