Happy Birthday Allsorts

This week the Allsorts Challenge Blog is celebrating its 14th Birthday and their challenge is Anything Goes. So I thought I would pop along and join in the fun. For this card I have used one of Lisa Hortons Stencil, Embossing Folder and Die sets (kindly lent to me by a friend). I really enjoyed having a play with this gorgeous set. The base card is 7x7 and I cut the mats using a Chloe die set, I used distress ink pads to colour the stencils and then mounted everything up using glue gel. I would like to wish Allsorts a Very Happy Birthday and wish them many more.

 Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

The Earth Laughs In Flowers

My card today is for the Stamping Sensations Challenge which this month is The Earth Laughs In Flowers. I made this card for a friend who recently had an operation and I know that she has received it now. I used a beautiful stamp called Fantasy Flower Panel, by Chloe and some of the wonderful sparkly embossing powders that she uses too. First I stamped and embossed onto a piece of white card stock, them stamped the image again several times onto parchment paper and again embossed with the same powder. I then cut out the flowers and layered them on top of the main image adding a gem in the middles to finish. As the embossing powder that I used had a lilac colour to it, I matted onto a purple card base.

Thank you for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.
