August Elemental Inspirational Challenge

  Hello and welcome back to my blog!

Its the first Friday of the month, which means its the August Elemental Inspirational challenge. This months mood board is set by DT member Nat and it's full of inspirational elements that have a fresh summery feel. To join in all you need to do is to choose 3 elements for your card. Remember colours count as one element.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on the blog. I can’t believe it’s August already!! Time seems to be passing by ever so quickly at the moment. My days and weeks seem to be all rolled into one but I’m glad I found some time to break away from it all and have some time to create.

For my card I chose colours, flowers and circles. I was really drawn to the colours in this mood board they look so fresh, bright and have a lovely summery feel. I chose my papers some plain and patterned, although you can't actually see the polka dots on the yellow clearly in the picture. They were then matted and layered on to the main card base. I then die cut some circles and placed them on the card overlaying each other. I used the stems and floral elements from one of Tim Holts die sets called Wildflower Stems #1. They were die cut from white cardstock and coloured using Distress Oxides. After arranging them onto my card base I added some pearl gems onto the flower heads and a tied bow, finishing it off with a sentiment from Tim Holtz idea-ology metallic stickers.

Here is a close up of the finished card. I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I wish you all a very happy weekend. Check out all the inspiration from the DT over on the Daring Cardmakers blog;
