This week at Daring Cardmakersit's our Rhi's turn to set the dare
Everything we buy has packaging, some of it excessive, some of it beautifully designed. Tags, labels, stickers... all sorts of bits and bobs that we can recycle onto cards.I dare you to make a card using a tag, label, sticker or anything else you can find, thats from packaging and would normally end up in the bin. Of course you can ink it, change it, distress it and add anything else you like!If you're feeling brave, I DOUBLE DARE you to make it a card for a man!
Bits I've used for my card are- Bazzill Cardstock, 2 tags from boys clothing, Photocopy of vintage newspaper, chipboard letters, ACME label maker, label holder, ticket, Paid Stamp, Stampin Up Aged to perfection stamp, Versa Magic Black Ink Pad, Acrylic Mesh (this is the mesh that's left over when they stamp sequins in the factory, you can usually buy this at shops like Spotlight, or other craft shops, in different sizes), Gesso, and my sewing machine.

so I've made you a little slide show to show you how I made my background for this card, I always love to see how people create things, so thought you might like to also, let me if this is helpful, maybe I can do this again for future cards...

very nice card.
So now you are a mind reader too!!
I saw you card over at DCM and raced over here ready to ask how you did that background and what did I find....a slideshow of how to do the background :) You are wonderful to us all!!
Love your card and it just so happens I need to make a male card to pop in the mail (LOL!) on Monday ;)
So I guess I will be digging out a tag or two and taking up the dare (again!)
What a perfect card for the young gentlemen in our lives!! You nailed it! Awesome tutorial - that's really cool!

Great card, love the design!
Gill, this is fab. I love the way you've used the mesh - I never know what to do with the stuff - using as a stencil is a great idea.
Your little slideshow is a brilliant idea.
Wonderful card! Loved the slideshow! Had a question about yesterday's credit card painting ... do you let the different paints dry in between or do you do it all together? Have a great day! Kim
Not only a fab cardmaker but a movie star too! Love the slide show, how clever of you to make it look vintage like a silent movie!
Awesome card too, I love it!
that tutorial in silent movie stylee is just wonderful! The card is great for a teenager I reckon
I love this and thanks for the tutorial!! I'd never have thought of using mesh like that :o)

Top card Gillian! I have just been playing with that acrylic mesh too - only used mine as water for some dolphins to jump in! I love the texture! Will pop back and enjoy your slide show when I get a minute!
My son would love your card. I love the little film show of how you did the background, very informative, thank you.
