Allsorts Challenge #724

 The Allsorts challenge this week is **anything goes with an option to create your own background** so it seems fortuitous that yesterday I was dabbling with some shaving foam and re-inkers - a technique I've never actually tried despite my good intentions.  I can't say my first attempt was too brilliant but at least the craft room smelled lovely when I'd finished 😉.  I was determined to use some of what I made so I started out by cutting a tag, adding some stencilling and a bit of stamping and gold embossing.  I then decided to stencil a partial design onto a square to fit a card blank. I had a ponder over a coffee break and at that point decided this would be ideal as a masculine card with a few additions so I die cut a clock from a piece of black card which  had been smooshed through some gold spray and this in turn was popped onto a circle of another background from my 'useful bits' box - made a long time ago so can't remember quite how it was achieved. Everything was put together, finally adding a metal embellishment and sentiment.  There you have it - a card for the challenge incorporating no less than three backgrounds made by me - job done!!
