July Pastels

 

Hello! 

Welcome to my little crafting place! 

It's Daring Cardmakers Day again and as its the first Friday of the month its time for thekind where we challenge you to use whatever elemsnts you like from the photo.  This time it was my turn to come up with a moodboard and I thought that after Rizwana's 'brights' of last week I would go 'pastel' with my colour theme

 July Elemental Inspiration

 My moodboard is all about Summery, Pretty Pastels and I hope you'll find plenty to inspire your creative juices within the frame!

Of course you don't even need to use pastel colours - you can choose any 3 (or more) 'element's from the mood board to use when you get creating!

Ideas: rectangles, wheels, vehicles, cake, drinks, 

flowers, colours, fruit, scripty fonts, layout...
 

My card is based around the tall rectangle with the flowers in it. 

So I used colours from the moodboard, the flowers, a rectangle, the scripty capital letters and a few shiny silver gems inspired by the headlamp on the scooter!

Are you bored seeing this flower stem yet - I hope not because it's still my favourite and I'll be using it for a while yet!

 

: Sealed Botanical Sprigs  by Spellbinders

The background rectangle is inked with a few shades, then sprayed with water.  The petals were cut using suitable shades from my scraps as were the stems. I addedsome tiny silver gems into the flower panel then 3 larger ones to the side

The letters were die cut using a couple of different alpha sets - I'm not convinced they work on this card so I may end up doing a 'refurb' 😀

HAPPY AND BRIGHT

 

 Hello! 

Welcome to my little crafting place! 

It's Daring Cardmakers Day again and this week it's our lovely Rizwana setting 

the challenge.

 

Rizwana says:

   After a dreadful start to our summer and torrential downpours finally we are seeing some warmer weather! Yay! 

This weeks challenge is called:

HAPPY AND BRIGHT

It’s time to celebrate by creating some super cheerful and super bright cards!

As soon as I saw this challenge I thought of the toucan and parrots from  Spellbinders May' Small Die of the Month club

I mean, what's more bright and cheerful than these fabulous birdies? 

The bonus I found when I went to get the dies out was that I'd already mad up one of eacj, Oh Happy Day!

And I even had a good start on the flowers and leaves, so in the end I just needed some extra stems and to cut out the letters for the sentiment.

I decided to leave the card base white to better show off the bright colours of the birds, flowers and letters

Is it just me that gets a buzz from finding i'm halfway there with ready to use stuff for a card?
