Morning all!
This month’s prompt for the card challenge definitely embraces that spring feeling:
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Embrace the spring pastel tones, they can be put to great use on non-Easter/Spring cards too.
- Geometric prints and patterns – check out your patterned paper stash or see if you can make your own repeat pattern with geometric elements. You could even try some wreath-building techniques.
- Butterflies and insects – lots of possibilities there!
- Circles, dots and round design elements
- Double-dipped plates – they remind me of a technique where you can layer die-cuts of the same shape in different sizes with contrasting patterned paper or vellum and sew the die cuts in place.
- Multi-coloured spoons – try and create a rainbow of colours using the same shape or design element. A perfect way to use up buttons or enamel dots you in packs that are almost finished.
- Spring blooms in vases and containers
- Donuts and sprinkles – feature something sweet on your card or make a shaker card inspired by those sprinkles
- Pompom banner – bunting and trim is always a great feature on a card. Or why not make a (paper) pompom as a design feature and add some googly eyes.
- Dolls houses – house accents are a perfect detail for new home cards
- Make a card for a child
Hopefully that will get your mind going!
Happy crafting!
