Allsorts Challenge ~ Create Your Own Background

Donna has chosen the theme for this fortnight's Allsorts Challenge and theme is 'Create Your Own Background'.  As always, there is also Anything Goes option.

I was lucky enough to win this Visible Image 'Frosty' stencil in The Playground recently, so I gave it its first outing using Distress Oxide ink pads.   The sentiment is a Impression Obsession 'Thanks' die.  The orange and green card was all from my snippets drawer.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:

The stencil I used was a 6 x 6 one, so I made a second card using the strip of stencilled card left over.  There was enough orange and green card left too.

The flower is a Memory Box 'Prim Poppy' die cut, using one of my favourite flower dies.  I cut the flower out in green first and then just the flower heads in orange and layered them on top of the green.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
As You Like It Challenge ~ Favourite Die and why (I've had this die for over ten years and I love the simplicity of the design.  It's perfect for so many occasions.)

The Allsorts prize this time is a set of four background stamps from AALL and Create.

  2. BOTH cards are absolutely fabulous Liz. Great to see you using your prize - and getting a twofer out of your stencilling. The Prim Poppy die is lovely and sits perfectly alongside the stencilled strip. xxx
