Allsorts Spring Garden

Hello everyone!! Pinch Punch First of the Month...It's April and we are in the Spring Garden this week at Allsorts

Here is my inspiration for you.


I don't know what has happened to Imagination Crafts but they sure did make some lovely stamps back in the day. They were based just down the road from me so helped with my attempts to buy local. This one was part of their decoupage stamp range. I used glossy black embossing powder and painted the image with Twinkling H20's...remember them!? Mine are very, very old and I did wonder if they would work but a quick spritz and they were as good as new. 

You can see the shimmer better here...


As I mentioned earlier now we are in a new month the following sponsors have goodies up for grabs so please do join in for a chance to win.



I hope you all have a lovely weekend xx

The vibrant pink you used on the tulips is beautiful Sarah,it's a wonderful stamp and the topper you created with it is perfect with the background paper.

A glorious Spring card Sarah, really bright and cheery and perfect to lighten these rainy days.

I have a feeling Imagination was taken over by Crafters Companion.

Beautiful stamp and colouring … I too have recently been doing a bit of colouring with my kid H2O’s and Cosmic Shimmer watercolour paints .. they definitely don’t seem to degrade over time!

This is so nice, Sarah, definitely looks like spring! I havenʻt thought about twinkling H20s in ages, may need to dig them out. Thanks for the inspiration.
