Hi Crafters,
Well we are back to our weekly challenges at Allsorts starting today and we have a great theme for you all to join in with.
ATG/ CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND
Image - Ruth Hamilton Designs Image - Muscari (Grape Hyacinth)
Coloured with Promarkers
My background was created using a Polkadoodles Brick Wall stencil and two colours of Distress oxide inks - Spiced Marmalade and Fired Brick. I also splashed some large drops of water onto it and mopped with a kitchen towel to 'bleach' some of the colour out. The first and second generation stamping of the plants were done using a Sheena Douglas stamp set. Finally I cut a grassy border using a die in my stash.
Prizes this month are from:
