Allsorts week 76 Gold and cream with a hint of red.......

This week it is Brendas turn to set the challenge at Allsorts she would like to see

Gold, Cream and a hint of Red

This is a Whiff of Joy image i have had in my stash for a long time she is so elegant. the gold edging was created by running a versamark inkpad round the edge of the image and panels then embossing with gold embossing powder, the flowers were embossed witha versamark pen which gave me added control and a fine nib to create the detail on the petals, it is my first ime trying anything like this but really enjoyed it!!!

I then added the sprigs of gold beads, gold beaded ribon and cream raffia type ribbon which were also from my stash.....

Hope you can play along this week

Allsorts week 75 and the winner of my little giveaway!!!!

Good morning my its a cold one in Leeds today!

spots and stripes





I must admit I really enjoyed making this card and was so pleased with how it turned out a shame the photo is a little dark but having to use my mobile as my camera batteries went lol!

The cute image is a slapstick stamp from Penny Black and the papers are ones from last christmas they dont have a company on them though! the shiny ribbon is that special one that pulls into a bow and I think it works a treat on this card sentiment is from Craftwork cards...

Allsorts Plain and Simple

(This is a sticky post scroll down for newer posts)

This weeks its my turn to choose the challenge at Allsorts and the theme I have chosen is

plain and simple

not as easy as you think with the scrummy papers and embelishments available at the moment..

NOw I hang my head in shame as I have had this beautiful Tilda stamp for a couple of months and this is the first time she has seen any ink!!! I love her pose.....

To keep it plain and simple no DP !!

(yes I know......it was very difficult......still not recovered.....)

coloured with good old promarkers (the pinks blend so well) and had to stop my self twice with stickles in hand lol, the sentiment is a see-d's stamp,

and the pretty ribbon is part of a huge stash my mum got me the ribbon is like an organza but has trails of glitter glue and sequins on it (some other packs of the ribbon has strings of seed beads sewn through it) very different from any ribbon I have seen before she got it from the shop she works at which normally sells house hold items for wait for it ..................................19p per pack of 1.5 metres!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you think you're reading it wrong you better go get your spec's lol!

she bought me quite a few packs (erm ok she cleared the shelf, and they havnt had any more since lol) and as an extra special treat i'm going to give away a little candy 3 packs of glittered/beaded ribbon and a few bits and pieces.....including self adhesive mirror tiles, lace and prima flowers.....
