February 2020 Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I'm relieved it's Friday this week.  It's been a full on week coupled with a child who 'accidentally' poked holes in his school trousers with scissors which hasn't helped.  Funnily enough, it was the same child that cut his tie accidentally exactly 2 years ago according to my FB memory!

Being as it's the first Friday in February it's the start of the Elemental Challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers and I've loved creating the inspiration for this one!

As Valentine's Day is fast approaching I definitely had love on the brain.  I decided to make my own heart mask with a die cut heart and inked around lightly with my distress ink.

I die cut the cacti elements and then began by adding googly eyes but it wasn't enough so I found some foil lip stickers which worked really well.  I heat embossed the sentiment in black to finish.

Here's the moodboard from which you have to choose 3 elements or more - colours count as one.  I chose the colours, the cacti, flowers, hearts and the XOXO.  You can see lots more inspiration from the Design Team HERE.

Have a wonderful weekend and see you again soon!
