The optional theme of the Allsorts Challenge this week is 'Create Your Own Background.
For the background I used a Stamp Addicts 'Beaded Curtain' stamp, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Morning Mist'. I coloured a few of the circles with a pink Promarker. I die cut the Poppystamps 'Small Tilda Swirl' in pink and grey and attached them together, before layering on grey and white Memory Box 'Stitched Circle Layers' mats. I added a punched flower to the middle with a tiny, pale grey pearl in the centre. The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Best Year' set, stamped using the same grey ink pad as the background. I added two pale grey pearls to the pink panel.
Our generous sponsors this month are Oakwood, AALL and Create, Stamp Addicts, Ruth Hamilton Design, Aldridge Crafts

Thought I recognised that background Liz, now I know why! Pretty choice of colours as the grey gives a much softer look that black.
