Welcome to the 3rd Birthday blog Hop for Allsorts. Also welcome to the amazing weather that we have had over the last few days - how gorgeous its been and people feel so much happier with a bit of sunshine.
Back to Blog Hopping .........
The title of this weeks Allsorts Challenge, which has been set by the lovely Emma, is
Happy Birthday to Someone Special
here is my card that I would be proud to send to someone special
and another shot to try to show you the dome on the front.
I have used a combination of several of Joanna's products that I have been very lucky to have demonstrated on TV. The background paper and the sentiment are both from Jayne Shasky CD rom. The flowers are a mix of papers flowers stamped from the fantasy flower stamps and real pressed flowers. This is a great way to spread your real flowers out. Some distressing with Bundled Sage around all the available edges really suit the style.
Some cotton lace and gems finish off the card.
When you use real pressed flowers you need to protect them in some way. I have chosen to use an acetate dome over the front. Hope that you can see this in the second picture.
As it is the 3rd Birthday at Allsorts I would like to offer a prize as well as the fabulous prizes that are on offer on the Allsorts Blog this week from our very special sponsors, I have some fabulous stamps to give away to someone that leaves a comment on this post. The winner will be picked at random at the end of next week. I will ask Mark to take a photograph of them and post them later in the day so that you can see what you might win!
I hope that you have read the rules about the blog hop which Brenda has kindly written on the Allsorts Challenge Blog.
Hopefully you will have just hopped over from
