Mail Art - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a very productive week with the addition of my first virtual parents evening.  Now in theory, this would be a good idea only the sound on my laptop decided not to work and a few sticky notes from the teacher later, I logged in again using my phone!!!  

Over on the Daring Cardmakers, Svenja informs us that it is World Post Day and she would like to see anything related to mail art.  I have interpreted this challenge in a basic fashion and opted to use my bee stamps which includes one that is holding a letter.

I hadn't made a circular card in a while nor an eclipse so I decided to combine the two!  I made the background with my Beautiful Blender brushes, Distress Oxide inks and a stencil.

My bees were stamped, coloured with Chameleon pens and die cut then stuck around the card.

You can see lots more inspiration from my fellow Design Team members HERE and I hope you'll join in!

Have a lovely weekend,

Deckchair Stripes & Sunny Spots - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

All that rain is doing wonders for our grass.  It was in a dire way but then we treated it and sowed grass seed and you can see real green grass now!  It clearly doesn't take a lot to make me happy at the moment does it?!

The Daring Cardmakers challenge today is a fun one.  It's using spots and/or stripes on your card.  I kind of thought the circle shape could be classed as a large dot on mine but the verdict's not out yet!!!  What do you think?

I used the Time for Tea Designs Sunnsy Side Up Stencil to make the stripes, highlighting the thank you on the card.  My panda bears were kept simple but I added a hair bow to one and a bow tie to the other.

You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE and I hope you'll join in the fun!

Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you next week,
