This week at Daring Card Makers we're joining forces with the wonderful team of Scrapbookers over on the Everyones is Speshal blog. We're daring each other & you to make a Really Romantic Scrapbook Layout - BUT ON A CARD!!
Scrapbookers are challenged to downsize your usual 12 x12" LO onto a teeny weeny one - maximum of 6x6", which can be sent safely through the mail.
Cardmakers - you're used to working on a small space, and you know all about the ribbons, brads & other bits & bobs - but can you take on board the other touches that are used on a scrapbook page - the Titles, Journaling, & Photo's?
Ok, here's my Gorgeous Husband in my take on this weeks Dare, Have to say I did get the giggles a few times making this, and love having him look into my eyes the whole time I created this... LOL!!!!
Wonderful Bits I've used for this Luvey Duvey Card of my Main Man are - Treasures Cardstock, A Big Photo I printed onto sketch paper, Uraban Lily Printed Paper,
Frenceville Buttons, Crochet cotton to stitch the buttons on with, K&Co Stickers to go 'wonderful you', Bella Chipboard Cookiez 'A', Versa mark ink to ink the letter(as I hate painting chipboard I usually ink whenever I can, and my sewing machine..
The little heart is made by just randomly cutting circles out of the printed paper then running them through the xyron and attaching onto the photo, I drew a heart with a pencil and just made sure that they overlapped each other then stitched through the circles to give it a finished look...
So be sure to check out what the other DCM's & the SPESHAL GIRLS have come up with...
Have you Dared to DARE yet!!!! Maybe this one's the one for you!
COME ON I DARE YOU!
