Very Superstitious - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I've done a lot of gardening and cooking this week!  I think we need to grow more vegetables next year so I've been investigating.

This week is a fun challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers and it's all to do with superstitions.  I must admit I am not superstitious in the slightest but had fun using different superstitions on my card.

To begin with I stamped and coloured in a black cat (bad luck) which is holding an umbrella (bad luck if opened indoors).  Next I die cut the number 13 (unlucky for some) and used some green both with the paper pad and the umbrella colour as it is also deemed unlucky.

I added mirri card for the number 13 as breaking a mirror is 7 years bad luck so incorporated that too as well as the number 13.  Lots of superstitions covered I think!

You can see lots more inspiration on the blog HERE and I hope you'll join in.

Have a lovely weekend,

World Tourism Day - Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Happy Friday!

Oh what a week it's been!  I have a mountain of work and my holiday is definitely a distant memory - ha!

It's my turn to set the challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers today and I have chosen a theme based on World Tourism Day.  I didn't even know it existed but Google is pretty good isn't it?!  It's role is to raise awareness of international tourism.  So I thought what better way of aiding tourism than by showing off creations which make us think of other countries.

Bet you can't guess my country?!! Ha!  I actually had a commission to do which tied in well to the challenge so a bit of a win, win.

I do hope you'll join in with the challenge especially after seeing  all the wonderful creations by my fellow team mates HERE.
