Anything Goes for Allsorts' 800th Challenge

Hello and welcome! This week we are celebrating the 800th week of Allsorts challenges and what better theme than "Anything Goes" so everyone can take part and have a chance at winning one of our wonderful prizes.  We have 4 stamp sets and 2 stencils from AALL and Create to give away this week so come join the fun!

I was actually inspired to use 2 of the stamps sets we have on offer this week and this is the result:


I was going for a yellow and brown color combo, the main brown I used is Vintage Photo Distress ink and for yellow I used various shades of Copic markers to color up the flower along with a yellow card base.

To make the background I first stamped the clocks and numbers image from the Aall and Create set Fully Fledged (#751) second generation stamping of Vintage Photo. Next I used a Harlequin stencil by Tim Holtz and a Mini Tiles Texture stencil by The Crafters Workshop. I also stamped the coneflower from the Aall and Create set Textured Florals (#531) using second generation Vintage Photo ink then flicked some diluted ink onto the background for some splatter. The circle cutout was done using 2 sizes of Nestabilities circle dies which I then inked with Vintage Photo Distress ink. As mentioned, the flower from the set Textured Florals has been colored with Copic markers then fussy cut. Before I added the flower, I stamped the birds from the set Friendship Florals (#648). The little bird on the bottom right is from another set - Blackbird (#530). Sentiment and "coneflower" are all part of the set Textured Florals. I inked the edges using once again the same Vintage Photo ink then distressed them with a pair of scissors as I have misplaced my distressing tool. Scissors work just as well though! Some direct to paper inking along the edges with the same ink pad, then I adhered to white cardstock then onto a yellow card base. I found these yellow enamel dots in my stash so I added them to the card.

Aall and Create has been discontinuing several of their stamps to make room for new inventory but you should still be able to find these at some retailers if you are interested.

Textured Florals remains a firm favourite with so many of us, looks really effective here with the pops of orange against the sepia tones of the background.
