Two challenges inspired this card. I have been wanting to use this pretty Echo Park plaid paper I purchased recently, so it was a perfect fit. I used an Altenew 3-D folder on the yellow card. The vehicle is an Altenew mini-set. I cobbled a sentiment using a Gina K 'happy' and a CTMH 'Father's Day.' Some Glossy accents were added to the headlights and windshield, and a few Nuvo drops for accents.
Some masking circles, blending, and silhouette butterflies today for a CAS card.
Butterflies and sentiment from Simon Says Stamp March 2020 kit. Inks Gina K Designs.
This week's challenge at Allsorts is Anything Goes with an option to Use a Stencil.

I love any opportunity to use my stencils! This card used two -Snow Pines (#139 AALL&Create) and a script stencil from Finnabair. I splattered with Ground Espresso and stamped a bit of a musical background stamp as well.
The twig was cut with an Altenew die. All assembled with Matt Gold and cream linen card. I decided I wanted this to be a plain card for a personal note, so left off any sentiment. The blended panel has enough left for two more cards, so I may may it into a small gift set for a friend who has a birthday soon.
New sketch #608 at Try Stampin' On Tuesday! with option to create a scene.
My middle son is having a big birthday soon, and this card will be for him.
The images are all from Spellbinder's small die of the month, Flyby Greetings.
Here with a Monday morning inspiration for you using this week's sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
My card uses an Altenew stamp, colored with Altenew Artist Markers and embossed with gold. Some gold threat and confetti to embellish. Summer is golden, right? Sentiment from Simon Says Stamp, May 2021 kit.
Hope you will join the challenge. The Design Team enjoys seeing your creations!
I am home again after a long and marvelous trip in Greece. So I apologize for not visiting your blogs and commenting on your creations. I promise to visit and look forward to seeing all you make.
The option for this sketch is "sponging" ... which I have not used. My card does use a pretty paper from The Paper Studio that I snipped and popped up with dimensional foam. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Dandelion Messages ( May 2021 kit). There a few tiny bees stamped inside.
Hope you will join us at Sketch Saturday.
ALLSORTS is celebrating 14 years!
There are some very special prizes for this weeks challenge!
Prizes from AALL and Create: A4 stamp set Blooming Field and coordination die, 2 A5 stamp sets, 2 DL stamp sets plus stencils and A6 stamp sets.
My card is a Z-fold w/ Pop Up that I learned from Frenchie here . I stenciled a large panel of card stock using Trinity Stamps Lemon & Leaves stencil with a variety of inks. I made an ordinary Z fold card base and then added the pop up feature. The pop up square should probably have had a different design for the sentiment...next time I will pay better attention :-( Other than that, the fold was super easy to put together, and it fits in a standard A2 envelope easily. I added some confetti after the first picture. Bright yellow lemons just make me happy - summer lemonade in the sunshine!
Hope you will join the challenge and celebrate a birthday with us at Allsorts.
