September Elemental Challenge

 

Hello

Thanks for visiting. 

 

I’m sharing my card for this week’s Daring Cardmakers Challenge, and as Friday was the first challenge of the month it's an Elemental challeng with the moodboard chosen by Nat

September Elemental Challenge

As we're moving into the last throes of summer, I've picked an image that will work with autumnal elements but also still has plenty of scope to keep that summery feeling living on!

Here's hoping we still see some splendid summer days in September. I'm not yet ready to get the heating on or put away my summer wardrobe.

Pick at least 3 elements from this image to interpret on your card (remember colours count collectively as one element) and enjoy some crafty time!

Nat gave us loads to choose from with this board, but in the end I arrowed it down to the terracootta pots, the sprigs of lavendar and the woven texture of the gorgeous baskets

I sponged some watered down green ink onto the white clard blank to give some background colour. 

I used various inks to colour some scrap white card to a terracotta shade then cut it out using one of the recent Ceramic Vases die set

Then I added a final layer of a metallic copper ink to finish the pot

The lavendar is made using the Mason Jar and Lavender which I love!

 

The two die sets mentioned above are from  Spellbinders: HERE is my Affiliate Link, you can use it to access the store any time!  Please note that as an Affiliate I may receive a small commission when you use my links - it doesn't cost you anything but it helps me buy more stash so is much appreciated!  

 

I have no idea where the 'weave' die is from, I picked it up in an online sale and it arrived in just a clear bag.  It is such a great background for so many things!

To complete this card I added a green and whit sentiment from a batch I made a couple of weeks back - I knew they'd come in handy!  I used a green ink pad to colour some twine - messy, but worth it

 

Thank you so much for coming by

 Happy Crafting, Take care of yourself
