Allsorts - tags

Morning,
still warm and sunny and time for a new challenge at Allsorts. This one is also a fortnight long :) and the theme is tags, so create a tag och use a tag on your project.

I have started with the Christmas makings now - no time like the present - and made a Christmas tag, distressed a background using a honeycomb stencil, added a diecut tree and a banner, distressed and stamped with a sentiment.

Sponsor for this challenge is Lost Coast Designs with a $10 store voucher.

Allsorts - Flowers all over

It's time for a new challenge at Allsorts and during the summer the challenges will last for two weeks to give the Design Team a well earned rest :)
The challenge this fortnight is Flowers all over, easy peasy right?
I made a card in blue and silver, the embossed silver swirl is from Stempelglede and to give the card a shabby look I smeared blue paint on the white roses and silver paint on the blue ones.

Allsorts - In my garden

This week at Allsorts Brenda chose the theme to be In my garden. I made a tag with cat tails, I don't actually have cat tails in my backyard but I would really like it. I just don't have enough space and flower beds... Ah well, some day...

Our prize this week its a beautiful floral stamp from Chocolate Baroque called Floral Harmony.

                          

Chocolate Baroque who are 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 Wharton. Our resident artist, Sue Page, works from her home in Hampshire where she is inspired, amongst other things, by the natural world, botanical art and early 20th century illustration.

We design our own range of natural rubber art stamps from Sue's hand drawn originals, complemented by 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 - Baby animals

This week at Allsorts it is my time to host the challenge and I set the theme to Baby animals. It can be any kind of animal as long as it's a baby :). And for those of you who are wondering - a human baby is a no no, animal babies only!
I made a round gift tag using the image Bently and bunny from Digistamp Boutique.

We have a gorgeous prize from Rare Earth Stamp up for grabs.

Allsorts - sweet treats

This week at Allsorts Susan set the theme to Sweet treats. I used a bonbon stamp that I borrowed a long, loooong time ago from a friend, I only had one stamped image left so I sort of freestyled it by hand to get three images on watercolor paper.  Then I coloured, cut out and fastened them on kraft card. It looks a bit too much CAS for me so I will probably add the name of the receiver in die cut letters (as soon as I know who the receiver will be, hehe).

We have a lovely prize from Marianne Design this week. 

Allsorts - use at least two dies

Time for another challenge at Allsorts- this time Kath chose the theme and set it to Use at least two dies.
I used a Lotv stamp and a tag, lace and stitched frame die - so three dies in total :)

Allsorts - ladies night out

This week it's Tracy's turn to host the challenge at Allsorts and she set the theme to Ladies' night out. 
I used a ballerina image, a freebie from All dressed up, coloured with DI Tumbled Glass.
