Allsorts 17th Birthday celebrations

 


It's time for our celebration at Allsorts challenge to mark 17 years of the challenge running. It's a remarkable achievement by Brenda. I'm hosting the challenge and have been on the DT since 2018, so a relative newcomer!


We have lots of prizes on offer and two lovely GDTs are also joining our wonderful DT for the challenge, so lots of inspiration. The theme is ANYTHING GOES!


I've chosen to make a thank you card using my Lavinia stamps. Some of them have seen ink for the first time. I started by making a print using my round Lavinia gelli plate and then placed the stamping around it to form a scene. I used a piece of 12x12 printed paper (from QVC many years ago) to frame the stamping and then a Lavinia stencil in soft tones for the background card. The sentiment is from a Penny Black set.

I do hope you can join in on this very special celebration and I look forward to seeing what you make.

Such a lovely Lavinia scene Lynn, great perspective and the path leading to the cottage is perfect for the little mouse to scamper up xx
