Animal Antics - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I have no idea how it's Friday again.  I really do feel like there aren't enough hours in the day at the moment......we just got back from seeing my parents on Tuesday and I am now playing catching up.

Over on the Daring Cardmakers, Ruth has set her first challenge and she's asked for an animal to be used on a card in any way, shape or form.

So, can you spot my animals?  Yes, I have gone with rocking horses!  Well, it didn't say the animal had to be real did it?!!  

This was one of my demo makes using the First Edition Hey Baby Decoupage pack and papers with the addition of a few gems to embellish.  I chose not to use all the layers of the decoupage to show you can be frugal, if you so choose, without losing the design or detail on a project.  

These papers are a vibrant alternative to the usual pastels you see for baby cards and in fact I ended up making more non-baby cards with the pad as there are a lot of generic designs.

My demos are over for this cycle so I can concentrate on Show preparation as I'm on Create & Craft again next week with some new products.

Have a lovely weekend,

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
