ooh la la and wunderbar

It's Lythan's turn to set the challenge for The Daring Cardmakers this week:

Well, this weeks dare is a little bit retro. As it is the European Day of Languages today I would like your card to feature a foreign language. 

This takes me back to one of the very first Daring Cardmaker Dares (November 10 2006 to be precise) which was a similar challenge. So why not also see if you have any cards to show from 5 years ago to see if your style has changed?

I didn't see the second bit of that till this morning, so I'll have to scroll back and see if I can find my card for that one - I do remember the challenge, but I don't remember what I made.

Here's my card for this time though

I couldn't resist another chance to get frilly and flowery. could I?

All the following from Creative Treasures:

Cream Lace, black "Mystery" ribbon, rolled piece of Pink Silky Crush ribbon across the middle

Flowers: large pink flower made from Silky Crush ribbon with a pink wired rose in the centre, Pink tulle rose cut for a length of ribbon roses, 2cm Black wired rose

 Other supplies:

All papers: GCD's fabulous Paris Nights (8x8), some flowers made with scraps

Cream Stardream card for sentiments pieces,

EK Success border punch, Spellbinders fancy tag from "Blossom Tags and Accents" set (Charmed Cards and Crafts), Spellbinders plain small oval die

selection of black and grey gems and pearls, Black hearts and swirl accents Kand Co, also Charmed Cards and Crafts

Prima Artful flowers je t'aime is cut on Craft Robo 

I hope you'll visit the Daring Cardmakers to see the other fabulous "foreign language" inspired cards the team have made this week - it's a great challenge and it would be fab if you'd join in too, I wonder how many languages we could manage to feature?

So, what did I do for my card back in Nov 2006 - well, as the challenge was just to feature "another language" I was a little bit sneaky and chose "The Language of Flowers" for my card.  Here it is:

Well, it's time I wasn't here - I think my cold is starting to improve, but it's really knocked the stuffing out of me, so my kitchen is only going to get "a lick and a promise" - I don't have the energy for much else atm.

Thanks for visiting today, I hope you'll come back soon
