In The Frame - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Colds all around at the moment in our household, which is no fun.  As we are all at different stages, team work is helping to ensure we take care of each other.

I love the theme of the Daring Cardmakers challenge this week - frames.  I'm a huge fan of them and use them a lot so this one was right up my street!

I hadn't used my florals in a while so inked up a lily stamp and used my watercolour palette to add colour.  I went on to create a subtle stencilled background before making a frame for it.

I finished with a simple strip of white card on which I stamped the sentiment.  

You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE and I hope you will join in.

Have a great weekend and see you next week,

Spring Things - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I'm glad it's Friday.  It's been a tiring old week and I feel in need of a break, I'm thinking somewhere warm and exotic....as if that'll happen anytime soon but a girl can dream!

This week the Daring Cardmakers are looking to see 'Spring Things' on your cards so anything associated with the season.  Of course the first thing I look out for as a sign of Spring are the daffodils that pop up in the garden so I thought I'd use my daffodil stamp.

I opted for watercolours as I fancied a change from my alcohol markers.  So I stamped the image and then used my water colour palette to add colour to the image.  I added a blue wash to the background as well.

I heat embossed the sentiment with white on black card and added a frame die cut to finish.  I think I can safely say I rose to the challenge!  You can see more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE and a link to join in.

Have a lovely weekend,
