White On White- Daring Cardmakers Challenge

 Hello and welcome back to my blog!

I'm back with another new challenge! This weeks challenge is called;

That's All White Then!

Just go as white as you dare on your cards this week and use just a little colour if you really have to! We are excited to see what you come up with!

I really enjoyed creating this card until I had to photograph it. That was not fun with it being a dull day and trying to get the best light to take a picture took forever. I'm still not happy with results maybe I'll have to come back to this a some point and retake the photo. Anyway here's a little run down of how I put this card together. Firstly I embossed a piece of card using a dotted embossing folder. Then I adhered that to my card base. I die cut a frame, a floral element and a sentiment which was then all arranged on to the card and glued down. There you have it an all white 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;

Floral Frenzy- Daring Cardmakers Challenge.

Hello and happy Friday!

Welcome back to my blog! This week we have a brand new challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog. This weeks challenge is set by DT member Shabneez and its called; 

FLORAL FRENZY

We all have lots of flower themed craft supplies and Shabneez would love to see lots of florals on your creations this week.

I have created my card using papers by Stamperia called House of Roses. This paper pad has been in my stash for some time and its one of those I couldn't get myself to cut into. So I thought how can I share its beauty if I don't create with it so here I am with this beautiful card with the most gorgeous roses, don't you agree?

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.

Just Peachy-Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Hello and welcome back to my blog!

 This week we have a brand new challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog and its set by DT member Nat. The challenge is called;

JUST PEACHY

Nat says, "A new year means a new Pantone colour of the year, and 2024 is the year of Peach Fuzz! So to celebrate this new focus colour, I want to see you use peach tones on your card in some way.

I have used some patterned papers for the base of my card and then added a strip of corrugated card in the centre. I punched some hearts using the Fiskars heart punch in two sizes. The hearts were then arranged onto the corrugated strip and for the middle one I used foam pads to give it a raised look. Finally I added a sentiment to the centre from Tim Holtz ideology stickers.

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.

January Elemental Inspiration Challenge 2024

 Hello and welcome back to my blog!

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a well deserved Christmas and New Years break. It was much needed my end and crafting was definitely on hold. I have neglected by blog since October and I put it down to the time change when the clocks go back around that time of year. I feel like I'm always playing catch up. So, in many ways by the time we are in the new year I'm still thinking about Christmas. I know this sounds bizarre but I've noticed this was the same last year and the year before. This year I’m hoping to be kinder to myself and be more mindful.

Today I am back with this year’s first Daring Cardmakers Challenge which is an elemental one. To take part all you have to do is choose three elements to create your card. Remember colours count as one element. I chose colours, squares and leaves for my card.

I have created my card using collage papers and a stencil by Art Journal Love which is available from Funky Fossil Designs. I love these collage papers they are so bright and vibrant, perfect for quick cards. The paper I chose incorporates all the colours in the mood board, well nearly. I then added stitching details to two pieces of 2 inch square cards and mounted them onto the patterned paper. I created the leaves using the stencil and distress oxides. I then added details using a fine liner and a posca pen to give the leaves more definition. After fussing cutting the leaves I adhered them to the squares on my card. I couldn’t find a sentiment I liked so I decided to create one using my own handwriting.

Here is the mood board if you would like to take part.

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.
