November Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy November!

I can't believe it's November already can you?  We've had a lovely week of half term being out and about about visiting family and friends.

Being the first Friday of the month it's the Elemental Challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers.  It's the first of the festive challenges on a countdown to Christmas so hope it'll inspire your Christmas projects.

I've used the Dovecraft Time to Sparkle collection for my card, choosing a couple of  the papers from the pad and matt and layering with black.  The NOEL is from the First Edition alphabet tiles which are a firm favourite of mine as they're so versatile - one of my best buys of 2018.  Twine and a snowflake brad finishes it off.  The topper made me think of a snow globe as I was constructing it.  What do you think?

This is the mood board Kathy has chosen and I love the elements on it.  It was difficult deciding what to choose but I ended up using the colours, the Noel sentiment, twine and checks.  You only need to use 3 elements in your challenge.  Lots more inspiration from my fellow DT members can be found HERE.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend,

Shabneez

Back To Basics - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

How has your week been?  It's flown by for me and only a few days of school left before the Easter holidays - I can't wait!

Joanne has set the challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers this week and has asked for us to use one geometric shape and one primary colour as a focus.  Can you guess what I've chosen?  Yes, you got it right - blue rectangles!

I ordered a sentiment pack from Craftwork Cards in the sale not so long ago and apart from the largest blue strip, the entire card is made up of sentiments and embellishments from that pack!

I've arranged all the sentiments on a strip of blue cardstock and added twine, flowers, a heart and gems to embellish.  It's simple but I love how pretty it looks.

There is a lot more inspiration on the Daring Cardmakers blog HERE so I hope you'll pop by and join in this fun challenge.

I have a day off on Sunday and family coming over which I'm very much looking forward to it as it means I get to make some special dishes for everyone to enjoy.  I hope you have a good weekend whatever you're up to.

See you next week,
Shabneez
