Week 631 Sun, Sea and Sand at Allsorts

It's my turn to host the Allsorts challenge this week and I've chosen a theme of sun, sea and sand.

For my DT card I've used two gelli prints as the focus. I was messing about with blue and gold acrylic paints on a small rectangle gelli plate and this was the result. I had them in my background box and thought they looked so much like a beach that they would be ideal for my card. 

I used a stencil for the sun and a die cut. I also recently acquired the ice cream die and wanted to put it onto this card. The deckchair and sentiments are from a Penny Black stamp set coloured with promarkers. the die cut sentiment is from a larger CE set.

I put the whole design on a postage stamp card blank and cut the mounts from a TH postcard die set - holidays postcards - see where I'm coming from? Not sure anyone actually sends postcards anymore as they are in touch with them throughout a holiday anyway these days.

Our sponsor this week is Chocolate Baroque. They are back on TV The Craft Store on Friday 9th July at 9am and 1pm, with a collection of Summery stamps including three beautiful new sets.

This week there will be two winners who will receive one of these prizes.
