Allsorts Challenge ~ It has to be spring

The Allsorts Challenge theme this week is 'Spring', chosen by Brenda.  There is also the Anything Goes theme if spring themed cards are not your thing.  We have lot of tulips in our garden and this gave me the inspiration for my card.

 I made a Tri Panel Z Fold card, a fold which is easy to make and perfect for using up snippets of patterned paper.  The patterned paper is from The Works.  I used a Marianne Design cross-stitched tag die cut and used crochet cotton to stitch the tulip design.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Best Year' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Glamorous'.  The number dies I used are from The Works.


There are lovely prizes to be won from AALL and Create

  6. Your Tri Panel Z Fold card is a delightful way to welcome the spring season! The tulip design stitched with crochet cotton adds such a charming touch, and the choice of patterned paper from The Works complements it beautifully. The sentiment from the Stampin' Up 'Best Year' set adds the perfect finishing flourish.
