The theme for the latest Allsorts Challenge is **I spy with my little eye, something beginning with 'B'** and after a bit of thought I decided to go along with B for BOOKS and also BIRTHDAY. I started by die cutting and colouring the books followed by a bit of head scratching as to how I was going to put them onto a card, finally coming up with the idea of cutting a table to hold the open book. I then cut an aperture in a square of card to fit my card and backed that with a piece of cream card on which I'd stamped a dictionary page which I thought was an appropriate background. The frame was popped up with foam tape and the table partially hidden behind. Just a stamped a birthday greeting and that's it - my offering for the Allsorts challenge this week. I imagine that if all these books were piled onto the table it might collapse under the weight 🤣🤣
Stitched effect Aperture - die from Paper Roses
Table - die from Gummiapan
Books - unbranded dies
Background - Dictionary page stamp from Stampin' Up (retired)
All very clever. You've pulled it all together beautifully. I really like the book theme.
