Allsorts Week 369 - Photo Inspiration

Hi All

Brenda is hosting this week with a photo challenge......


June 25th

As always you can create whatever you like, from cards to cakes, mixed media to gift boxes, all we ask is that your work reflects the colours in above photo.

My take on the theme is as follows, i used a tonic die set and used one of Anna's flower sets by hobby art to make a flower embellishment.

Hi All

Welcome to another Saturday.  This week it is me hosting and i have set the theme

"How does your garden grow"  

Based on all the rain we have had in the uk i would say fast at the moment but for this challenge i am looking for garden inspired cards, flowers, plants, etc.

I have used the rather gorgeous bees from hobby art to make my card
