The theme for the next fortnight at Allsorts has been chosen by Ellie, who would like to see some **Spring Flowers** or there is the usual *Anything Goes* option. Prizes are from Aall & Create.
For my DT card I've chosen to feature snowdrops which I think are one of the earliest signs of Spring. I started by cutting a panel of white card and a slightly larger one of light green. A polyplate was used to stamp a 'streak' of green as a background, adding a few stamped grasses. The snowdrops were stamped in grey onto a scrap of white card, coloured and die cut before adding to the card using thin foam pads. The sentiment was prepared on the computer and die cut with a small stitched rectangle. The snowdrop stamp and die set has been in my stash for many years and the other elements are more recently acquired.
Snowdrop - magazine freebie from Clearly Besotted 2019 (sadly no longer trading)
Green Background - Polyplate from Crafty Roo 2025 (again sadly no longer trading after 1 April))
Sentiment - prepared using Microsoft Word
Stitched Rectangle - die from retired Stampin' Up stitched rectangle set
Beautiful Snowdrops Val, the soft greens give such a nice fresh Spring feel.

ReplyDeleteLovely snow drops on your CAS card!
ReplyDeleteStamping the snowdrops in grey has really added to their delicate look. A very effective design. BTW I didn't know about Clearly Besotted closing, but I googled them and their website seems to still be trading?
