I have a special card to share today for the Daring Cardmakers Challenge today. It is in fact my eldest son's birthday on Sunday and I incorporated the challenge with his card. I can't believe he's going to be 9. I honestly don't know where the years are going and I still recall the day he was born after 3 very arduous days of labour :)
Enfys set the Challenge this week and wanted any form of packaging to be used on the card. You should have seen the state of the dining room floor after I'd finished cutting up bits of any interesting packaging I could find before I finally decided on this:
The space themed background was a blast to create, excuse the pun! I used my Tim Holtz inks in various colours and white acrylic paint for the stars.
I suspect the card will go down well with my son as he loves both space and chocolate!
Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to join in with this fun challenge, I love what the other DT members have come up - they're very innovative!
