There is much excitement at Allsorts as we are celebrating our 16th Birthday and there are four, yes four prizes from Aall & Create up for grabs PLUS for US entrants
A $25 store voucher from Lawn Fawn
Three stamps from Colorado Craft Company
A $25 store voucher from Gina K Designs (Worldwide)
I have Aall and Create dies in my stash but, feeling the need, just had to invest in a few other bits so made this...
using these accicental purchases
I had a little canvas that had been shifted from place to place over the years so thought it was about time that it got used. A lovely blogging buddy gifted me some duplicate Distress inks so now that I have quite a range of colours, I thought it was time to play. I am not confident with inking so literally splodged rainbow colours on my craft mat, gave a teeny spritz and squished the canvas down. I am really pleased with the result as the colours stayed true and didn't go muddy, which was my concern. I also had a can of spray and shine lurking so sprayed the inked canvas and sprinkled matching coloured glitters on certain areas and it actually stuck. I coloured the adorable little girl with Promarkers and had a think about her wings. I remembered Jayne Nestorenko on crafting telly years ago with the mandala stamps that she did on acetate and then added glitter on the back so that's what I did with the wings. Sadly my Stazon had gone dry so I used black Versafine which took a day to dry but nevertheless it worked and she has glittery acetate wings!! Finally I stuck some stems and pods down together with a strip of acetate, stamped wish and die cut Birthday and that's that!!
Please come and see us and participate in the Birthday celebrations. I really want to say an ENORMOUS thank you to Brenda who works tirelessly to keep this and other challenges running so beautifully xx

I also remember Jayne, her demos were always inspirational, I still recall her boards where she built up Butterflies piece by piece with lots of glitter.
You've created such a bright and vibrant Birthday card with lots of interest perfect for our celebrations and with accidental buys (I have a feeling I'm going to have a few of those with PB stamps today).
