Anyway, I need to get back into a blogging habit - actually, this is a habit I don't think I've ever managed to grasp, but I do try, honestly!
I'll do a "catch up" post in a couple of days, but today it's First Day Back for the Daring Cardmakers after the hols, and we have a wonderful Elemental Inspiration Picture challenge this week.
Here's my card:
And here is Jo's choice of photo.
It's not really surprising that most of us chose the gorgeous colour palette as one of our elements - click {HERE} to see them all!
As well as the colours, I picked the star, the ribbon (I used die cut swirls), the bling and the cupcake cases to use on my card
Materials and Tools
White card, Red Bazzill
Aqua/White dotty paper from my scrap box
Cake Case made into a coiled flower
Starry Background - Memory Box stencil with various inks and some red and Blue Diamond Sparkle Medium Glitter Paste
Large Memory Box Rosette die (cut down slightly)
Swirls cut with a Taylored Expressions die set
Red and Turquoise Dewdrop bling
3 beads wired to thread through the flower and rosette
I really enjoyed making this one - I usually struggle to get out of the "Christmas card" mind set, but Jo's picture truly was an inspiration (Thanks Jo!)
That's it for now, thank you so much for popping by and for leaving a comment (hopefully!)
