DC layers

Hello, friends! Happy Friday!

Shabneez from the Daring Cardmakers has a new challenge for you. This week it’s all about layers:

Layering papers, stamps, images etc.

Pile them up on your cards and share them with us!

My aunt asked me if I could make invitations for my grandma’s birthday party … as soon as possible 😉. So I had no time to order matching papers, but decided to raid my stuff and use up what I already had.

I started out with golden cardstock for the numbers and tried to find papers that had gold in it or just matched somehow. Here’s the result. I layered the papers and added a self-made embellishment with the golden 90 on top!

And in the end I glued a gold embellished sentiment on top oft he papers. So … lots of layering here.

DC Cheer someone up

Yay! It’s Friday. It was my turn to pick the topic fort he Daring Cardmakers this week.

Today I want to challenge you to CHEER SOMEONE UP!

You probably know someone, who is ill or sad or having a rough time at the moment?! Make a card with an encouraging or funny sentiment to help lifting their spirits.

I think this coffee set has a very encouraging sentiment… and coffee always helps at least a little, I think. (Especially in combination with a good conversation with a special person)

DC Something new!

Hello… hello … it’s Friday *yay*! The new year still feels pretty new and exciting to me and here is our new Daring Cardmakers‘challenge to capture the feeling.

Something New.
We're still at the start of the year so for Ruth's
challenge we're celebrating all things New!
New Year, New Home, New Job or New Baby,
or even New Stash or New Technique!
It's up to you.

Quite a few people I know moved houses at the beginning of the year …. So they have a really new start this year. It was important to me to make a card for them and give them a little something to feel at home asap. Here’s the first card.

I still love the „skyline scene“ that I bought years ago and I love the combination of black silhouette and colourful background. In this case I used distress oxide inks to create a night sky.

DC January Elemental Inspiration

Feeling blue?

Hello, crafters and friends! I hope you had a great start into the new year (and decade 😉).

After the holidays every day life is slowly coming back … and we also welcome you to the Daring Cardmakers‘  first challenge in 2020!

It is of course an Elemental Inspiration dare where you need to feature 3 elements from the image below on your card (with colour/a colour scheme counting as one overall element).

I used my new floral die cuts, created a tile pattern in the background and stuck to the blue colour scheme. What’s your idea?

Have a happy and crafty weekend!
