November Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy November!

It's been a really tough week emotionally.  You know the saying 'it doesn't rain put pour'? Well sadly that's how it's been but I have faith that things can only get better.

Anyhow, enough with the doom and gloom, the November elemental challenge has begun over on the Daring Cardmakers and it's enough to put a smile on anyone's face!

For my card, I've used a Couture Creations die set to create a wintery scene together with the Darice Glitter Prints, and to finish a Craftwork Cards sentiment.  I must admit gap cards are a favourite of mine as you can do so much with them!

This is the image from which you need to pick any 3 or more elements.  I've chosen the word 'SNOW', the colours and the scene.  What will you use?  I'd love to see and you can join in HERE.

I will be demonstrating Christmas crafts using the new Trimcraft collections at The Range in Romford this Sunday and I'll be in Harlow next week.  Hope you can join me!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Shabneez

Sending Sunshine - Daring Cardmakers

Happy Friday!

Today I have decided to treat you all to some sunshine as it is wet and miserable where I am.  Pure sunshine.  The type that stays and doesn't hide behind clouds as it seems to do a great deal here at the moment........

The sunshine is of course in aid of the Daring Cardmakers new challenge which has been set by Miri.  She has asked for any form of weather to go on your card and there is a lot of inspiration from my fellow DT members HERE.

I've gone through my scraps folder and chosen blue and white papers which I then die cut with my stitched border dies and formed a scene with the stitched sun peeking out.  I thought a gap card would work well with my design.

The sentiment is a lovely one, I'm sure you'll agree, and was a freebie with one of the last issues of Quick Cards Magazine before it sadly stopped publication. 

Have a wonderful weekend,
Shabneez
