🍭Allsorts - Summertime 🌞🕶️⛱️

It is once again my turn to introduce this week's challenge at Allsorts. And since we're entering the month of July I thought it suitable to set the theme to Summertime 🌞🕶️⛱️. 

I made a gift tag with die cut flowers, cat tails and butterflies. It's a bit different to have the flowers fairly flat cause usually when I use the daisy die from Sizzix I put at least two flowers together and curl the petals a lot but this worked fairly well also 🌼. Looking at the photo I regret not using a more brown cardstock for the cat tails to make them pop but they're securely glued on so it can't be remedied 😇

For a lucky winner we have a gorgeous stamp from our sponsor this week:

                                          

Chocolate Baroque is a small independent art and craft company, based in the historic market town of Barnard Castle in County Durham in the North-East of England and is owned and run by Lesley and David Wharton. 

Lesley will be sharing a new and very exciting collection of stamps on Hochanda TV on Tuesday 7th July at 10am and 3pm, these are something really different and you won't want to miss out.

We design our own range of natural rubber art stamps from Sue's hand drawn originals, complemented by old original drawings and typography from Lesley.  The rubber stamps are made in house, by David, to our very exacting quality standards. And nothing gets past his eagle eye!

Allsorts - Spring flowers

This week at Allsorts Wendy chose the theme and she decided on Spring flowers. I made a gift bag by distressing some paper with Fired Brick, Dried Marigold and Victorian Velvet. I stamped and embossed white flowers from Stempelglede for backing paper and made flowers using a Sizzix die on the rest of the distressed paper. Some lace here and there finished the creation.


I make my own paper bags to fit my needs :). Simply by following a template like this and adjusting the measurements.

We have this lovely prize for a lucky winner, so get in spring mood and join us this week.
