"Jazzy Cats" and Yellow Polka Dots - Handmade Card

Hello and welcome! 

It's time for a new theme at Allsorts challenge, this week we're making it very easy and it's simply "Anything Goes" so hope you'll play along with us for your chance to win a wonderful prize from WOWVOW

As a side note, next week Allsorts is celebrating 12 years of challenges, there is some info about that at the end of this post, along with some DT search info for Allsorts challenge, so do scroll down to the end of the post to find out more!

For this week's card I decided to use one of the cute stamps from Penny Black's "Jazzy Cats" along with the stencil Circle Explosion by TCW





I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo ink on Neenah 80lb card stock then colored with a mix of Copic markers. I stamped the image a second time on a post-it note, fussy cut and placed over the colored image to use as a mask. 

Next I stenciled the dots onto the background using distress inks Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey with an ink blending tool


The black sequins were part of a Monthly Hero kit, the February 2019 kit to be exact.

Before adhering the card front to the base, I ran it through my big shot machine using one of the "Wonky Stitches" dies. The card base is from Michael's, their 110lb heavy weight card stock by Recollections.

Below is a closeup, unfortunately it's a little blurry...




The sentiment is part of this cute cat set, it's been stamped using Versamark ink and then heat embossed using detail white embossing powder. I glued the sentiment onto the card but also used a stapler on the side and put some yellow ribbon through it.  




Next week, May 22nd Allsorts is turning 12 and we're celebrating by giving away 12 wonderful prizes, so do mark your calendars and we'd love for you to share our logo on your blogs too to help us spread the word! There will be a main prize which is the Heartfelt lot, and then the other products in the logo below will be divided into 11 prizes for a total of 12.



Next week we will also be introducing 2 new design team members and we are still looking to add one more DT member! To be considered, all you have to do is join our "anything goes" challenge this week and mark your entry with DT behind your name when linking up your project. Since we are a blogging challenge, you do need to have a blog in order to be considered. 

Note: We are a weekly challenge and some weeks can be very busy. As a DT you will be expected to create something for each weeks challenge using your own products, comment on entries of the numbers allotted to you and write a challenge and winners post approximately every ten weeks.



Thanks so much for visiting!!
