The theme for this challenge is **Create your own Background** chosen by Donna and there is the usual option of *Anything Goes*. Prizes are from Aall & Create (full details and challenge rules can be seen on the Allsorts blog post). For my Design Team card I started by smooshing two colours of Distress Oxide ink (Spiced Marmalade and Peacock Feathers)onto a piece of water colour paper and then overstamping in a third colour (Tea Dye)using a border stamp. This was followed by more stamping using some text stamps and other details using a Fallen Leaves Versafine Claire ink. I also added some detail using a text stencil. The flower was die cut from a piece of matching brown card.
