Ellie has chosen the optional theme this week of Blooms/Bees/Butterflies for the Allsorts Challenge. I decided to go with Blooms.
The background panel was stencilled with a Lavinia stencil 'Dynamic', using 'Mowed Lawn' Distress Ink. The image is from one of our generous sponsors this month, Ruth Hamilton Design 'Sunflowers'. I coloured it with Promarkers and added three tiny green pearls.
Lovely prizes this month are from Sizzix, AALL and Create, Aldridge Crafts, Lavinia and Ruth Hamilton Design
I am joining in the following challenges:
