October Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy October!

I can't believe it's already October - it'll soon be the end of the year at this rate!

As it's the first Friday in the month the Daring Cardmakers have their elemental challenge and I really enjoyed putting together this happy card using, papers, ephemera, ink, stamp set and a stencil!

I began by choosing my ephemera using both the plain plants and one with a happy face on.  I cut the front panel of the paper pad which had the swatch of the papers on to fit my 6" square card blank.  I used ink and a blender brush to lightly go through a stencil and make the background.  I then stuck all the elements down to include a die cut happy birthday and some pearls.

The plant in the middle looks very happy so I had to stamp an additional sentiment as I'm sure it would make the recipient smile as it did me!

This is the picture from which you choose at least 3 elements  - colours being one.  I went for the plants, the rectangle strip on the side and the herringbone from the carpet.

Have a good weekend and see you again next week,
