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!

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' 😀
