I Spy Something Beginning with 'B' At Allsorts Challenge #758

 Hi Crafters,

This week we are playing 'I Spy' at Allsorts. I used to love playing this game as a child when we were on a long car journey did you?

We'd like to see elements on your project beginning with the letter 'B', or you can go with the Anything Goes option.

I have created some ATC's to share...

...here's a close up of just one of them.

I used a Tattered Lace embossing folder for the background after inking the sky and die cutting the shaped ATC. I then inked through a stencil and used gold embossing powder on the balloon. The basket is made from pieces of corrugated cardboard punched with a Stampin' Up Label Punch and then cut in half. I added some metal tags from my stash which I've had for an eternity.

Prizes for the next two challenges are from :

Aldridge Crafts, Stampendous, AALL and Create

Take a peek at the challenge blog for inspiration from the rest of the Design Team and get your entries in by next Friday.

Take care and have fun!

Allsorts Challenge #757 - ATG/Stitching Real or Faux

 Hi Crafters,

Another Saturday has rolled around and our theme this week at Allsorts is

STITCHING REAL OR FAUX

These sweet images are from CraftsUprint and I have adhered them to two stitched die cut panels and matched the pink on the backing paper. A simple, stamped sentiment to finish.

Some of you might choose to use real stitching or doodle the stitches, it is up to you but there is also the Anything Goes option too.

We look forward to seeing what you create and one lucky winner will receive a prize from AALL and Create who still have some fabulous bargains to be had, lots of stamps and stencils are half price or less but you need to be quick as the sale will be over very soon. 

Have fun!
