Hello and welcome! It's time for a new theme at
Allsorts challenge and
this time around it's my turn to host. For my optional theme I selected "I Spy Something Beginning with B". Lots of favorites beginning with a "B" so I hope you will join us and
there is always the "Anything Goes" option. We have 2 prizes of
coordinating stamps and dies to give away.
I have two projects to share today:
A couple of weeks ago I made this card
using a new to me stamp set by Stampin Up and today I am sharing an Artist
Trading Card (ATC) I made using the same products but a bit differently.
B is for Bird on a Branch
I used a mix of red, orange, yellow and brown Distress inks for this card. A
white pencil was used on the bird's and dragonfly's wings. I used the Direct
to Paper technique around the edges of the ATC but a couple words got lost
from the ink so I cut those out from white cardstock. The background was
stenciled using Aall and Create's stencil Tulips (the same one I used on the
card I made previously).

I am entering this ATC here:
B is for Blue, Blossom and Butterfly
For the above card I used washi tape to mask off the edges then using the
"smooshing technique inked up the background with Blueprint Sketch Distress
Oxide ink. Stamping on the background was done with Aall and Create's set
Foliage #496 (retired) and Sent with Love #831 (retired). The rose (also from set #831) was stamped
on a separate piece of cardstock which was also inked using the smooshing
technique, and then fussy cut. The butterfly is part of the Aall and Create
set Spread Your Wings #729 (retired).
For a little more interest I added a piece of cheesecloth behind the rose and
used a Wink of Stella clear glitter brush all over the rose but it's not
showing in the picture.
