Allsorts - Challenge Week 2

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all had a great Bank Holiday weekend.

Sorry, I am a little later posting my Allsorts Challenge than I expected. The garden mission took longer than I thought it would .. .. .. and we also went to a wedding reception last night and stayed over. I very sadly took a few images and crayons/markers with me in the hope of being able to colour a few images before breakfast but unfortunately I didn't get any done .. .. .. .. .. all the little kids were sitting at the dinner tables last night with their pencils and colouring books and I wanted to fetch mine and join in!!!. So the only crafting I got done was leafing through a few craft magazines.

Another delay came in taking a photograph. My lovely hubby came home with a new camera for me as a treat - and I needed to learn a little about how to use it. I still have a lot to learn so this photograph may be a bit "odd" as it is my first photo shoot with it - LOL!!! I am just hoping it looks loads clearer or my hubby will be gutted.

Anyway.. .. .. here is my creation for the Allsorts Challenge. The theme being "no stamped images".

I went with the embossing folders / dies and punches and created this:-

I used:

Backing paper - from Costco ages ago (think it was from Memory Store)
Fiskars punches - Threading Water and Ribbon Punch
X Cut - small flower punch
Cuttlebug - embossing folders
Cuttlebug - nested heart die
Gems from the stash box
Diamond Stickles

I am fairly happy with this card. I think the only thing I would change now is the colour of the embossed backing card .. .. .. .. .. but that might only be because it now reminds me of those yukky chocolate "Caramac" bars you could get when I was a kid (many moons ago). Not sure if you can still get them but the chocolate used to be this colour .. .. .. .. and I hated it!!!

Well I am now hopefully going to have time to do a bit of catch up "blog hopping".

Catch you all again soon. Thanks for calling by.

Love Jules xx
