CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND

 Morning Everyone,

Time for a new challenge over at Allsorts and Donna has picked the theme "Create Your Own Background" to go alongside Anything Goes.



For my card I have used a rectangular die to make a template and coloured with Distress Oxides, Shaded Lilac, Picked Raspberry and Saltwater Taffy. I have to say that one of the edges wasn't perfect - I couldn't have held it down properly - so I had to cut the inked rectangle out to tidy it up and add it to a stitched die cut piece of white cardstock.   I then stamped Sweet Bouquet by The Ton when the inked square was in place,  matted with black and used a sentiment from LOTV.

The prize for this challenge is a set of four background stamps from AALL and Create


I hope you can join us and have a good weekend.
