Hello and welcome! A new theme starts today at Allsorts challenge with Dena hosting. She chose the fun theme of Spots and/or Stripes and hope you'll join in with us for your chance to win one of our fabulous prizes on offer this month! They come from Oakwood, Stamp Addicts, Sizzix and AALL and Create. As a reminder, these prizes are for challenges 710, 711 and 712 as they are now announced just once a month but winners will still be selected from each of the weekly challenges. I wanted to use some of my patterned papers so I went looking for a sketch to use and found one that was right up my alley. The sketch is from the current Try Stamping on Tuesday challenge. The image is a Penny Black wood mounted stamp Delights (sorry I don't have a link), stamped with Versafine Onyx ink and colored with Zig Clean Color brush markers. The patterned papers are very old, from Stampin Up. The white background paper is embossed, if anyone recognizes this folder please let me know in the comments. I added a sticky sentiment from Tim Holtz' Small Talk sticker sentiment set. I finished off the card with some natural jute twine and a touch of glitter in the flower centers. >>>>>>>>>>>>Mixed Media and More by Ranger on Sale at Scrapbook.com/Ad Take a look at the cute resin hedgehogs I found at a kitchen supply shop in an "After Christmas" sale!
