August Elemental Inspiration | Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Good morning!

It’s the first Friday of the month, so time for a new elemental inspiration challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog.

Joanne has a great image to share as inspiration:

And here’s my take:

Card | Handmade by Natty | Carta Bella Our House

Paper: Carta Bella – Our House
Ephemera: Pebbles (r)
Stamps: Memory Box – Big and Little Words, The Stamp Market – The Flower Shop
Dies: The Stamp Market – The Flower Shop

Card | Handmade by Natty | Carta Bella Our House

For my elements I went with a text background (like the saucer), fruit, a pop of blue, and a fern frond.

It’s always nice to use up some paper from a 6×6 pad and I’ve loved this Apple pie recipe pattern in the Carta Bella Our House pad for a while, just never knew what to do with it. Well enter some related Pebbles ephemera elements from an old Simon Says Stamp card kit and a few stamps and hey presto – an easy yet pretty card. 🙂

Make sure you check out the fab cards from the rest of the design team here.

Happy crafting!

    I love seeing the different elements we all chose and how they are interpreted by everyone differently! Your card is fab, I love the apple pie paper, so cute!
