As most of you know, the theme is now always ....
Anything Goes
and instead of a challenge theme there will be a "Top Pick Twist", meaning I will select a twist from all of the entries for the Top 3. Nobody will know what the twist will be (not even me) until the end of the challenge. So do link up all of your crafty makes, your entry might be the one inspiring the Top Pick twist :)
Here is what I came up with:
I made a CAS card using the beautiful Fairytale stamp by Lavinia as my focal point. The background was done with a stencil by Vicki Boutin from this set of 3 stencils. I used Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac and Spun Sugar Distress inks. The sentiment at the top is from an older Hero Arts stamp kit (this particular one is no longer available) and the word "Dandelion" is from this set by Aall and Create. I added Stickles glitter and some gems by Honeybee Stamps to finish off the card.
I plan to share with these challenges:
- Addicted to Stamps and More - Die Cut or Stencil
- Crafty Catz - AG
- Crazy is our fame - STENCILS are our game! - Stencils with option of spring
- Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge Blog - Anything Fantasy
- Path of Positivity - Something Positive
- The Crafty Addicts - AG

March Top Picks with a Twist
As always I had a hard time selecting the top picks with a twist but it is a part of the challenge I enjoy a lot as I take more time to study the linky tools gallery, and I finally decided on the Twist of: Fun with Die Cuts. And here are the top picks listed in the order of entry, each one featuring some beautiful die cuts.
