DCM Weekly Dare - How Random

This week at Daring Card Makers
the fantastic Kel has set a brilliant dare that is a real challenge.
Firstly make a list of 10-20 crafty items you have in your stash, whether it be brads, ribbons, peel-off's, craft robo, dies, stamps, glittter, buttons, flowers, patterned papers, paint...
You get the idea!
Give them all a number or print them out a sheet and pop them in a hat all folded up.
Next, ask someone non-crafty to pick 3-5 of your numbers or pieces of paper from your from your hat.
Finally, make a card using ONLY the items chosen. A card blank, some sort of sticky stuff and your basic craft tools are allowed If you want to make it really challenging, list plenty of items that you haven't used in a while, or thought you may never use again!
So what went into my draw.... I hear you ask.....
metal embellishments...Ribbons...acrylic stamps...cuttlebug templates...Paper tabs...Doodling...Paint...Dymo Tape...Stickers...Vintage Images...Eyelets...Brads...Tags...Chipboard...Flowers...Rubber Stamps...Buttons...
And I was quite comfortable with the bits Jacob pulled out for me..
Chipboard, Flowers, Rubber Stamps & Buttons..
I threw in printed paper but made myself only use a tiny little bit...
and Well Cardstock..but you'll all be using that too..
Random bits for this card are - Treasures Cardstock,Hero Arts Bold Floral Pattern Stamp, Catslife Press Doll Face Stamp, Heidi Swapp Blossoms, Maya Road Chipboard label holder, Vintage Button from my yummy collection, Versa Color Ink Pad - 104 Lagoon Blue, Versa magic Ink Pad - Jumbo Java (label holder rubbed over with this), a little bit of Basic Grey Printed paper & My Sewing machine..
So have you Dared to DARE yet?..... COME ON I DARE YOU!!!!!!
