It's my birthday today. Has anyone else noticed that the older you get, the quicker birthdays with a '0' on the end seem to come around! So here I am, starting a new decade. 🤣
Lynn has chosen the theme of 'Friendship' for this week's Allsorts Challenge. It would be lovely to see how you interpret Friendship, but if not can always use the Anything Goes option.
I searched for ages to find this Julie Hickey 'Friendship Blooms' set of discontinued stamps and was lucky enough to find a preloved set for sale. I stamped the image with Memento 'Tuxedo Black' and coloured the flower with Promarkers. I stamped the flower head again, coloured and fussy cut it, before layering over the original flower head and adding a green enamel dot to the centre. The middle was glued to the card and the edges of the petals raised up on foam pads to add some dimension. The stamped sentiment is part of the same set of stamps and I attached it with foam pads. The background was embossed with a Spellbinders 'Dainty Dots' embossing folder.
Prizes this month are from Stampendous and Oakwood Direct and WOWVOW
The Allsorts DT have made some beautiful creations for the challenge, so please hop over the challenge blog for some inspiration.
