Daring Cardmakers January Elemental Challenge


Hi everyone and Happy New Year to you all.  I am hosting the January elemental challenge this week at Daring Cardmakers.  I picked this lovely blue and brown elemental picture for a "New Beginnings" theme - New Year, new job, new baby etc. but you can make whatever you like.  I chose the blues and browns, the bear, blue and brown textured fabric and the bow in the laces.


look forward to seeing how you use the elements in the picture on your cards, just pick three elements, the colour palette being one choice.  The design team inspirational cards and the link to add your cards can be found on the Daring Cardmakers blog.
 


I made this New Baby card using a Sizzix 3D textured impressions folder "woven", and IndigoBlu stamps set "Brideshead", blue and brown distress inks and thin blue cord.

A piece of papermilldirect white linen card was embossed and coloured with blue and brown distress inks then added to a white linen card blank.  The bear's head was stamped onto a small piece of white card in blue ink and coloured with brown distress ink.  A sentiment was computer generated, printed and cut out.  The image and sentiment were added to the card and a small blue bow added to the sentiment.

Do come along and join us this week at Daring Cardmakers, we love to see your creations.

  7. Lovely card (that background is just awesome) and great inspirational pic. I loved this challenge. Where I found the stars that I used on my card is still a mystery to me though... must have been on Ruth's card :-)
