January 2018 elements dare

The Daring Cardmakers are back after our relaxing Christmas break.

We’re starting the year off with a brand new elements dare:

01 - Jan elemental inspiration

You need to feature three elements on your card – colours count as one overall element. 🙂

Here’s my take:

Card | PTI Phrase Play #6 Stamps

Paper: Pebbles, Crate Paper
Stamps: SSS – Look for the Miracles , PTI – Phrase Play #6
Dies: PTI – Tag Sale #10, Lawn Fawn – Valentine Borders
Other: button, twine

Card | PTI Phrase Play #6 Stamps
I raided my scraps bag of papers from years gone by that need using pronto as they are just small strips or offcuts. My splash of blue comes from the spotty Pebbles paper and there’s some woodgrain from a Crate Paper collection where all that was left was that strip! I combined the old with an as yet unused Valentine border die from Lawn Fawn that I knew would be versatile, but is finally making its début on an actual card. The last element is the tag made from a great Tag Sale die set by PTI and I stamped some branches on it in light grey for a little extra interest.

All very simple! 🙂

Remember to check out the many varied takes on this challenge from the rest of the design team – happy crafting!
