Daring Cardmakers Elemental Challenge

Great news this week, I have been asked to be a guest designer on The Daring Cardmakers Challenge.  I am just back from a three week holiday and this is a good kick start to get me into the craft room and get me crafting.

Daring Cardmakers hold a weekly challenge starting each Friday, pop over to their blog to find out more.  The challenge this week is an elemental challenge - to make a card using three or more elements from the picture below:

For my first card I picked the flowers, the vases (black and white element) and the colours yellow and the green from the bouquet.  

The yellow background was created using Brushos on papermilldirect white linen card.  The stamp used was JOFY mini 22, and I made the striped washi tape using masking tape.

My second card used the circles, the colour yellow and the succulent in the bouquet (stamped on the top right circle).  The background is distress inks on white linen card, the six circles were stamped with Oak House Studio stamps and the sentiments were computer generated.
 

I found the shoe and sentiment stamp whilst rummaging through boxes of old stamps, not sure of the make as they are very old.  I 3D the shoe and added a flower coloured to look like the succulents in the bouquet. added circles underneath and used a yellow papermilldirect card blank.

 

It was challenging for me to make these cards as I do not use a lot of yellow in my cardmaking but found they came together with the black and white and odd touch of green quite well. 

Hope you can take time to join in the Daring Cardmakers Challenge this week.
