Floral Hexagonal card

Hello crafters, 
This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by yours truly is "Shaped Cards". I would like to see show stoppers...but, as usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.
My chosen shape is hexagonal with a floating element:


The focal image is created with Altenew Dynamic Duo Blooming Branch stamps, stencils and die.
The plant pots are stamped, coloured and die-cut with Perennials in Pots (collection Country Lane by Crafters Companion).
The paper inside the card is a freebie from a magazine.

Tile effect ATC

Hello crafters, 
Have you entered the STAMPlorations April challenge yet? Time is running out...


My card inspiration involves ready made card front and ATC so fairly quick to make:


The card front is from the Quick Cards #4 "Artsy Abstract" set and the ATC is from the Color Me Spring ATC set.


To put my own spin on the ATC I embossed several times with UTEE and added a border with the Wow! Heart Throb Embossing glitter (it comes as a mix of red and gold).
The photos do not show the shine of the enamel very well but here's a close-up:



The ATC's mat has been die-cut with the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Die and both mats use Black Magic Core'dinations (yes it's old...).

For the sentiment I die-cut the Thanks with the Skinny Sentiments (without its shadow).

**************
Hope this will you spur you into action to join the challenge, there are prizes to win...
* $25 prize code to the player who used a STAMPlorations product as the main/focal point in her project.
* $10 prize code to two (2) players randomly picked from all entries.

In the Garden

Hello crafters, 
This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by Gail is "In the Garden". As usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.

I had the perfect stamps and dies for this one! I grabbed a bargain bundle from Crafter's Companion and thought the elements would surely come in handy at some point


The focal image is created with stamps and die from the Country Lane Garden Gateway and the flower pots are from the Perennials set, also Country Lane.
I used watercolour pencils and a wet brush for the colouring throughout.

Floral card with ATC

Hello crafters, 

Happy April and welcome to a new STAMPlorations Challenge! Anything goes, any type of project, any style, just remember you need to use stamps (unless using exclusively STAMPLorations products).


My inspiration make uses some of the old and new paper products from STAMPLorations:


I die-cut my base with the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies and added a piece of Faded Botanicals coloured with Distress ink in green.

The focal point is one of the Vintage Blooms ATC - Ephemera , which I coloured with Distress Crayons.

I added a Prima Flower, leaves and a piece of paper lace for embellishments.
The Hello sentiment is from the Everyday Sentiments.
