Inspired by a Song

 For Allsorts challenge Sarah has chosen the theme of Inspired

by a Song or Anything goes.  

 

 I was inspired by Rainy Days and Mondays.  This cute Avery Elle set: Look

 for rainbows has been in my need to use container for over two years so

it was time to pull lit out.  One of my granddaughters likes rainbows so

this was her Easter card..  Colored with Copic markers, white gel pen

highlights and sequins from my stash to make it into a shaker card. I

also embossed the front layer with a Darice striped background

embossing folder. 

See what my talented teammates made and join the 

challenge at Allsorts, it runs for 2 weeks. We have

three prizes of die sets from  In2Craft.

Happy Birthday

 

I made this card for a few of my favorite challenges and to have in my stash.

I started with Altenew Bewitching  Rose Project kit, it came with the flower

arrangement above- the stencils, die cut, embossing folder-if you enlarge

the picture you can see the detail, and numerous sentiments.  The background

piercing die is from my stash but I do not have the name of it. I've made several

cards with this lovely set.

Stenciling

 Time for a new biweekly challenge at Allsorts.  Val has chosen the theme of

stencils and of course anything goes is also acceptable. 

 

I used a stencil by AALL & Create: Cascading Dots.  I chose several

colors and stenciled them one at a time, shifting the stencil each time.  I 

added  a happy birthday die and background from Altenew, two

circle dies and a die punched star.  I always need masculine cards. 

 

Then I misted my stencil and set it on a piece of white card 

stock and got the lovely dotted paper below.  I die cut it

with a window die by Pawsitively  Pawsome Designs and

layered some coordinating flowers from My Favorite Things 

and a hello die from Scrapbook.com.  I used colors opposite

on the color wheel and liked how this came out.

 

 

I could not waste the leftover frame and purple pieces so I 

stenciled a background on vellum with the same stencil and 

added it to a white base and layered it up with more die

cuts as named above.

 

It was great to get three cards from a fun crafting time.

Please join us at Allsorts for a chance to win the prizes below:
