Allsorts 15th Birthday Challenge #781 - Anything Goes

 Hi Crafters,

A special challenge this week at Allsorts to celebrate our

15th Birthday!

My card was created using a sheet of stamps from a magazine freebie and an Apple Blossom Sentiment Stamp all in the nautical or sailing theme. I created the lighthouse background scene and then stamped and cut out the porthole and starfish to add dimension. I used Distress Inks to water-colour. 


A special Birthday deserves special prizes and we are so excited that our friends at AALL and Create really wanted to be involved and have donated a huge bundle of their products, stamps, stencils, ephemera and washi tape which will be spilt randomly between 15 very lucky winners.


This is such a great opportunity to join in our Special Birthday challenge and create some lovely projects to be in with a chance to win a share of this fabulous prize bundle.
Check out the simple rules here and then come and join in the fun!

I love this card so much. When I see a light house, I am reminded of my grandma. She is buried by one and this brings a smile to my face. Gorgeous card.
