Firstly, its great to be back posting for the Allsorts Challenge. Thankyou to all the fab girls on the Design Team for keeping me on board after my absence. I returned to the shop on Tuesday and it's fantastic to be back getting my hands dirty and seeing all my crafting friends and customers. Karen, Jac and, of course, Mark have done an amazing job keeping everything ticking over.
This week it is our lovely Brenda's challenge and she has chosen a design featuring stitching. That gives a great scope especially with stitching being so popular on our cards at the moment. I have chosen this design to show you
The main focal point of the card is the stunning butterfly from Joanna Sheen's I Love Knitting stamp set and I have stamped and embossed it with detailed white embossing powder so that it resembles parchment. There is so much detail in the design it is a favourite of mine and was very popular when Joanna released it. The background framework is a Nellie Snellan die and I have used the die cut eyelets to thread the decorative cord through. The background paper is Bo Bunny and the floral embellishment is a Marianne.
It is a great little card that would suit so many different occasions. As usual the DT have displayed some fabulous projects on the Allsorts Challenge Blog pop over to have a peep and have a go at taking part - I am sure it will be a really popular week this week. Thankyou to our sponsors Flonz Crafts http://www.flonzcraft.com.
