In The Garden-0

 

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.

This week is our lovely Helene's turn to host and she would like to see 'My Lovely Garden'

First I created a background using Distress oxides, then stamped on it with a script stamp in Iced Spruce as I didn't a bold colour.  I die cut two frames and stamped my image in the small one.  I coloured the image with Distress inks.  Made some clouds using a Clarity cloud mask.

From The Very Large To The very Small

Welcome to a new month and new challenges for Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts, 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 'All Creatures Great & Small'  I chose to use a stamp from our very kind sponsor called On Safari (CI-390). I created a background using Distress Inks, then stamped the image over the top, I coloured my image and grass with Water coloured pencils.  The border was stamped using a tribal border stamp, a freebie from the Creative Stamping magazine. I added a Sentimentally Yours sentiment and then left it at that as I felt it really didn't need anything else


We have sponsorship this Month from

Crafty Individuals with a very generous prize of a £25 voucher

And of course, the Design Team have created some stunners to inspire you. Please do pay them a visit to their individual blogs - it means a lot to know you appreciate their efforts.

And now onto my second challenge creation for Penny black & More @ Allsorts, where the theme is 'In The Garden'  It would be nice if you could use a Penny black stamp but if not anything that ties in with our Garden theme is fine.

I chose the image as it's so cute, I coloured it with Distress Inks so I could match the image to the background which is created using Distress Oxides. I did the Bokeh effect on my background then overstamped with Lavinia Poppies and Meadow Grass.  I loved this background so much I intend to make a card using the same design without a focal image on top.



We have prizes from Penny Black and Blade Rubber Craft
