Daring Cardmakers February Elemental Challenge


Hello everyone, it's Friday and we are into a new month (where did January go!!) so that means an elemental challenge over at Daring Cardmakers this week.

Joanne is hosting the challenge and has chosen this picture for you, lots of elements and colours to chose from.  You just need to pick three elements or more (colour palette being one) to use in your card design.   For more inspiration check out the design team makes HERE.


I have been sewing this week upcycling some old jeans so this picture was very appropriate, I had to use some of the denim in my card and the flowers came to mind.  I chose the denim, buttons, lace (lace stamped on pin pennant), the striped textured fabric and the colours blue, pink and grey from the picture and this is what I made.


The flowers were cut out using a Sizzix tatty florals die and put together with some hessian daisies and buttons I found in my stash.  The three pennant shapes were die cut from the three colours of card, the grey ribbed card was bought many years ago from a Papermill Shop and the beautiful pink and blue are from papermilldirect.

The grey mat, pennants and embellishments were added to a white hessian card blank and a doodles line added to match the sentiments.

We would love to see your take on this elemental challenge, you can find details and the link to enter on The Daring Cardmakers Blog.
