It's Springtime at Allsorts Challenge

It's time already for a new theme at Allsorts challenge and this time Brenda is hosting. For her optional theme she chose It's Springtime and of course the Anything Goes option is there too and we love to see those too along with your spring creations. We have a prize from  Buddly Crafts - two gorgeous stamps by Penny Black.



I used a stamp from Penny Black called Spring Parade 1929K. I was hoping to link it to Buddly Crafts but it's an older wood mounted stamp and no longer in stock. They do have a great assortment of Penny Black stamps (and many others) for those of you in the UK, I hope you'll check them out!

This is a large stamp featuring 5 chicks but I masked them off and only used the two holding flowers. I stamped with Versafine Onyx and colored with Derwent Inktense pencils. The chickenwire stamp is an oldie from Whimsy Stamps stamped using Versafine Clair ink (Portobello). Then on two of the corners I used a stamp by Lavinia (Texture 2) and Versafine Onyx ink.

"Happy Easter" is from a set by Stampin Up recently found at a thrift store. It includes lots of little sentiments like this for all kinds of occasions.

I covered the chicks with scraps and then used a black posca pen for a little splatter on the background. After this was dry I inked the edges using Twisted Citron Distress ink.

 



I'm entering my ATC here:


Thanks so much for visiting, have a wonderful weekend!

    A super ATC using the sweet PB chickies Ellie, imagine some clever masking as well. Thanks for making such a pretty piece for my Spring challenge. Also perfect over at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge, many thanks for joining us there.
