Pretty Flowers

 


  Time for another fun challenge at Allsorts, Helen has chosen 
pretty flowers or anything goes.  I was in the mood to try
a new fun fold so started with some "pretty flower" paper and
created a Fan Fold card.  Papers by Stamp In Up and stamps
from AALL & Create.  (new set-Purrfect Birthday)

For a Child

 


Time for a new bi-weekly challenge at Allsorts. This month's theme
is for a child or anything goes, chosen by Liz!
 
I went with a combination of Lawn Fawn stamps for a sea scene. I stamped
and die cut the sea animals from patterned card stock and added some Copic
coloring to them.  The back ground is distress oxides: Mermaid Lagoon,
Broken China and Blueprint Sketch, spritzed with water and 
bubbles from one of the sets embossed.  Die cut some underwater
images, triple cut the round border and added a birthday 
sentiment.
 
Supplies:
Lawn Fawn:So Jelly, Sea Horsin Around, Circle Die and Sentiment Banner 
Taylored Expressions: Build a Scene Underwater dies
 
Check out the design team creations and join us at Allsorts for
a chance to win:

 They have now closed no details to add but  perfect for this theme.

 I am honored to have been chosen as Owners Eye Pick of the Litter 
over at Critter Crazy Challenge blog in June and get to guest design
for the July challenge.  This is challenge #100, so
they are celebrating the 100th challenge with critter
birthday cards!  
 
I went with My Favorite Things: Celebrating you stamps and dies, 
colored with Copic markers,  I used Birthday Confetti stencil  from 
Echo Park that has been in my stash for a long time and ink
 had not touched it.  Blue layer is embossed with Tim Holtz 
Alterations embossing
folder. Gems from my stash.
