This week at Daring Cardmakers it was Tracie's (Bondgirl) turn to set the dare ....She chose a brilliant dare too...
"start from scratch"
I want to you design a card with NO purchased/pre-assembled embellishments - that means no blooms unless you cut them yourself, no buttons, brads etc etc. I guess how easy this is depends on your usual style**insert evil laugh here**The team as usual have come up with a great mix of cards and styles and we cant wait to see yours.
As well as the usual team designers we have a special Guest Designer joining us this week, Bety has joined us for a couple of dares, so Thanks to Bety and we all look forward to working with her.
For my card this week
For my card this week
I used a little sculpey flower I made, which is held in place with a piece of knotted leather thong, the main flower is made of several hand cut petals all glued onto a piece of cardstock then cut out and stitched
I used Daisy D PP, 7 Gypsies PP, Sculpey, Heidi Swapp Acrylic Stamp, Versa Watermark ink & Black embossing Powder, Cardstock, Computer generated words, & my sewing machine...
So have you Dared to DARE yet?.... Come on I dare you!!!
