April Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a quiet week as my youngest has gone on a 'holiday' to my Aunt's house.  He loves it there as he cooks with her and my cousin has been entertaining him so they've been out and about.

As it's the first Friday of the month it is the Elemental Challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers and I've been inspired by the photo Dawn picked to make a card for one of my niece's upcoming birthdays.

I used the Tonic Studios 'I love you fairy much' stamp club set.  It's an older set but I love the die set that comes with it as it has such a pretty frame which I die cut in white.  I placed it over a distressed oxide background I created.

I stamped a fairy and a toadstool image out then coloured in with my Nuvo Alcohol markers.  I added a Nuvo clear gloss to the toadstool and a glitter gloss to the fairy wings to finish.

This is the photo Dawn chose and I have picked the colours, toadstool and foliage as my 3 elements.  You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE.

I hope you have a wonderful Bank Holiday Weekend and I'll see you again soon,

October Elemental Challenge 2022 - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

How was your week?  It was a busy one for me again and I'm definitely looking forward to the weekend.

It was our wedding anniversary earlier in the week and I made this card for my husband.  It just so happened to have all the elements needed for this week's Daring Cardmakers October Elemental Challenge too!

I began with the brick background which I created using a stencil and distress oxide inks.  I then stamped and coloured in the fungi, die cut the foliage and the stone and coloured them in.

To finish I stamped a couple of dragonflies and heat embossed my sentiment.

Here is the mood board from which you need to pick any 3 elements (colours count as 1).  I chose the fungi, bricks and circles.

Have a great weekend!
