Comfort and Hope- Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Hello and welcome to my blog!

This past week has been very sad and emotional for the whole nation. As we say farewell to our beloved Queen Elizabeth II we cannot help but feel this immense sense of loss. Words fall short of what we are feeling right now but it is times like these that words of comfort and hope are needed.

COMFORT AND HOPE

So for this weeks challenge we would like to see cards with words of comfort and hope for those who have lost a loved one or are experiencing a difficult time, by showing your kindness and support.

For my card I chose some patterned papers by Anna Marie Designs and the sticker words are by Studio Light. The die cut is by Sizzix .

Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog. Check out all the inspiration from the DT here;

September Elemental Inspirational Challenge

   Hello and welcome back to my blog!

Its the first Friday of the month, which means its the September Elemental Inspirational challenge. This months mood board is set by DT member Miri and she says, 

"If all the leaves, the rain puddle and blanket is too autumnal for you … why not go for textures, floral/leaf elements or be inspired by the “work/writing” element?! We can’t wait to see what you will make out of it!"

The mood board it's full of inspirational elements that has a cosy autumnal feel. To join in all you need to do is to choose 3 elements for your card. Remember colours count as one element.

For my card I chose some soft colours, a teacup, leaves and textured backgrounds. I decided to go a little vintage and selected some printables from the Fox and Found Studio. I started off by fussy cutting all the elements and then inked all the edges using distress oxides (vintage photo and tea dye). The fun part after all the fussy cutting and inking is when you arrange all your elements and see how well they all work together. I usually take a couple of photos whilst arranging my pieces so I can decide which layout I like the best before sticking anything down.

Here is the list of the Fox and Found Studio pintable's I have used;

1.Antique French Ledger.

2.Edwardian Women Old Postcards.

3.Vintage Teacups.

4.Foilage and Leaves Victorian.

5.Mini Vintage Printables.

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;
