Addicted to Stamps Challenge # 136

My head is spinning from how quickly these weeks are disappearing. Although I am looking forward to the cold wintery days of sitting all snug and warm inside and creating as many cards as I can. And in my pyjama's as well, probably...

This week at Addicted to Stamps it's time for everyone's favourite theme:

                                              ANYTHING GOES

This means you can create whatever project you like, in whatever style you like. It's totally up to you and we can't wait to see what you do!! 

The sponsor for this weeks challenge is:


The winner will receive 1 x stamp set and 1 x 6x6 pad of their choice. How fabulous is that!!! 

 I've been in a one-layer card mood this past week and also been playing around with some pencils:

I have my Mum to thank for the colour choice of this card! She was sitting next to me while I went thru my pencils and she loved the purple. Thanks Mum!!

The flowers are stamped in black ink and I chose an area of the flower, that actually looks like sequins, to highlight in purple. After stamping the sentiment in black as well, I added the purple sequins. 

The sentiment stamp is from Altenew 'Sohcahtoa', the flower stamp is from Inkadinkado 'Doodle Flowers' and the sequins are from Neat and Tangled.

I'm going to link this to the Little Tangles Challenge # 54 where their theme is:


 And I nearly fell over when I saw the inspiration photo for the Fusion Challenge this week. My Mum must have known something that I didn't....

You have until next Wednesday 25th March 10pm to join the challenge at Addicted to Stamps. The Design Team have created so many different projects and styles to inspire you this week, so please pop over to the blog to have a look. Can't wait to visit your blogs to see what you came up with!!!

Take care
Shona

    Your card is so perfect for the fusion challenge, the blooms look gorgeous, I am wondering why you haven't linked with CASology, it is a very CAS looking card.
