Be Happy! - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Feels like ages since I last posted but I don't think it's been that long really!  Autumn is definitely here as it is chillier in the mornings when we leave for school and it's dark!

I'm up on the Daring Cardmakers this week (and next!) and I decided we all need to be happy so that's my theme - share a card with 'happy' on it!

I happened to pick 'Happy Holidays' as I like holidays!  The stamp and die set is an old one from Tonic Studios which I bought recently in their sale and I used my watercolour pencils with a waterbrush to colour in the stamped and die cut Christmas roses.

The stamp set has some fabulous background stamps and I used one with distress ink to form some more interest in my frame.

You can see what the rest of the Design Team have done HERE and there is a link for you to join in!

Have a lovely weekend,

April Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's great having a few days off to recharge the batteries.  Shame the nice weather didn't stay!

As it's the first Friday of the month it's the elemental challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers.  I decided to go floral and used a favourite stamp of mine from CrafTangles.

I stamped the image on book paper and then used my water colour palette to colour it in.  I then tried a multitude of frames then settled on this photo frame.  I stamped the sentiment and matted on to black card.

This is the image from which you have to choose 3 elements, colours count as one.  

I chose the colours, book pages, flower and rectangle shape.  You can see lots more inspiration from the DT HERE and I do hope you'll join in.

I hope you have a wonderful long weekend and see you next week!
