Seasonal Delights at Allsorts

 It's the weekend again so it can only mean one thing...a new challenge at

ALLSORTS where we welcome anything goes but also tempt you with an optional theme. This week it's

Seasonal Delights

I have gone with the beach vibe. Thumbing through my stamps I found a quite small one from Ladybug Crafts that, I think, was a challenge prize years ago and until now remained uninked. I remedied that, inked it up and coloured it with Promarkers to match a lovely paper from The Range. Perfect ice cream cornets and ice lollies to go with the beachy feel. It was too small really for a card so I made a magnetised bookmark.


The paper has a little bit of sparkle so I added some stickles to the floral decor on the flip flops too.
Here's a jaunty angle showing the shimmer.


The reverse is identical but I didn't share that because I picked up  an Aquamarker by mistake and the colouring was shocking.

I know it's not going to be beach weather for all of you but in any case I hope the sun is shining for you this weekend.

See you soon xx

What a happy design, Sarah! An ice cream on the beach sounds like a fabulous idea. I love how you are always able to match your paper colours so well. I hope you are well and enjoying the sunshine.
