A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Ellie has chosen the theme 'Fur and/or Feathers'. I'm sure you will all have lots of ideas of how to interpret this theme. As always there is also the Anything Goes option.
I was crafting with friends a while ago and borrowed a set of Lisa Horton's 'Red Red Robin' layering stencils to play around with. I used a square of white card with several different inks. Somehow I got a few stray bits of ink of the card where they shouldn't be and I didn't know how to cover them up. The image has been sat on my desk for a few weeks, waiting for some inspiration of what to do with it. Finally I decided to fussy cut the image.... something I really dislike doing. The background was embossed with a Crafter's Companion 'Snowflakes' embossing folder.
