This weeks dare is to look in your wardrobe for inspiration. It may be the pattern on a skirt, the style of a shirt, the pattern on a jumper or the fringe of a scarf. Your card could be clothing shaped! Just go with your creative flow. This was a great dare by Lythan... and this is my take on it... I've been hanging onto these and other tags off my boys shorts for a while... They are fantastic little pieces of art and well worth hanging onto for inspiration... So don't be so quick to through out tags off your clothes.... You never know they might just be the inspiration you need for a design or indeed to use on a project... This is my Jacob's 12 B'day card, it's not for a while, and he's had a peek and was quite impressed I'll just tell you.... Make sure you pop on over to the DCM's blog and check out what the other girls have come up with, It's quite a fashion parade... http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/
Fashionable Bits & Pieces for this card are - Treasures Cardstock, Various Clothes Tags I've kept from shorts & Jeans, Metal Frame, My Type Punched Metal Alphabet, Black clip, This cute little Ticket is a Downloaded from Ink-Stains http://www.ink-stains.com/ ,Black clip, Making Memories 'hand' stamp, Heidi Swapp chipboard numbers, and some of my little arrows I make... Black versa ink & a bit of butchers string...
We're just "chuffed to little mint balls" (whatever that means) that you said YES!
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you on the Team, Gillian.
Love the card, great idea with the tags - I suspect we'll all be saving clothing tags now
Well done. Great design idea for the card. I always save clothes tags, they make them so pretty these days.
ReplyDeleteI would love more time to spend on my craft but being single means I have work all day. It gets me down.
CONGRATULATIONS on joining the DCM design team, GIllian!! What a bumper year and we're only in week two! I was very excited for you when I read about you joining DCM :-D
ReplyDeleteThis card you have made is so full of detail - I saw your arrows straight away and knew it was your creation of course - and the idea of using clothing tags is a goodie - will have to be very mindful of their potential from now on.
See you again soon!
