October

 

 Hello

Welcome to my little crafting place! 

 

My card today is for Shabneez's Daring Cardmakers Challenge for 6th October

October Elemental Inspiration Challenge 

Shabneez here to host this week and my mood board has an eclectic mix of elements! 

How about using the layout as one element? Or the geometric shapes? Then there are the colours, a blue sky, flowers, grass, a tortoise, turtle or other animal or the  lovely colours, pattern or texture of that beautiful shell

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!

I made 2 cards in the end, and used the same elements for both: the rectangles, the flower and some textyre for the shell of the tortoise

For this one I used bright colours and embossed the whole card front and a Spellbinders (shareasale link) potted cactus for the flower. 

The beautiful embossing folder I use for each of these is called Orange Peel Quilt Embossing Folder

 

I used white card and pastel colours for card 2, which was actually the first I made.  

For this one I paratially embossed the card front and added a strip of caoloured card where the change from embossed to 'flat' card is.

This time the rectangles are cut from card coloured with pearly Nuvo embellisning mousse.  The flowers are from a recent Spellbinders (shareasale link) set and the sentiment I by Creative Expressions

Thank you so much for coming by

 Happy Crafting, Take care of yourself,
