Sarah has picked the fun theme of Colours of Summer for Allsorts Challenge.
My card:
I started with blending cheery summer colors of Distress Oxide on my
background: squeezed lemonade, picked raspberry and cracked
pistachio. I then stenciled on top of this with a stencil in the same
colors. I stamped a sentiment stamp randomly in gray on the background.
My focal image is a Poppy Metal flower die which I dipped in
Oxide inks until I got the color I wanted. I layered the flower on a
vellum die cut so t would stand our from the background. Birthday wishes
is by StampIn Up.
I hope you will join in with this fun theme, be inspired by my
team mates and join at Allsorts Challenge for a chance to

Great idea to use the tone on tone stencilling to keep colours subtle. A lovely card, Donna. x
It's so beautifully done, love the vellum die cut which allows the stencilling to still shine through.
Such a pretty card Donna and love how you've used the vellum so they don't get hidden.
A pretty and beautifully blended background to highlight the floral element
LOVE this gorgeous summery card!

Lovely stenciled background in beautiful color! Pretty flower against the oval scalloped vellum, too! A wonderful summer card!!
Absolutely great card with an exquisite design. Love it xx
Blending those bright Distress Oxide shades and adding tone‑on‑tone stenciling gives the background such a lively summer feel, and the dipped flower layered over vellum adds a soft focal point that stands out beautifully.
Beautiful background and a great card.
Thanks for joining us at the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.
