Word Play | Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Morning!

This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, it was Joanne’s turn to set the challenge.

And it’s actually a word play challenge based on the letters F-E-B of February.

Plenty of ways to go with this one, but here’s hope I represented FEB:

F = florals
E = embellishments
B = Birthday

Card inspiration from Handmade by Natty featuring Concord & 9th Banner Builder

Papers and sticker: Crate Paper – Maggie Holmes – Garden Party
Stamp: Concord & 9th – Banner Builder
Dies: Concord & 9th – Banner Builder, Mama Elephant – Oval Scallop Frames, Pinkfresh Studio – Artistic Bows, The Greetery – Crimped Frame

I knew florals were going to be a big part of my card design, I just didn’t realise it would involve so many floral patterns layered together. Definitely embracing a bit of Maximalism there!

I’ve really enjoyed my recent patterned paper-centric projects, and this one allowed me to really make the sentiment stand out.

I actually stamped the banner text on the pale pink section of the Sown paper, and mounted it on that lovely contrasting Garden Greens B-side.

I found a great match for the green in my stash of The Stamp Market cardstock to make the fancy bow, and finished that off with a button from October Afternoon. Still my favourite buttons ever.

Make sure you check out the fab combinations of elements from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!

Happy crafting!

This is so you, Nat! You could have had enamel dots for the E and added button for an extra B, too – great card!

About my project supply lists

I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I’ve used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list.
In my supply lists, I link to several stores in the UK and US and am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, The Greetery, Concord & 9th, Altenew, Spellbinders US and UK, and Amazon UK. This means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund, which includes hosting this blog.
Please note that any products marked “(r)” are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.
Following the transition of my old blog, Kool Kitty Musings, to Handmade by Natty, the supply lists in those posts may have missing images and out of date links. There is no easy fix for this, I’m afraid – but you can still see which stores stocked the items in question at the time of posting.
I also list the stores I regularly use and have affiliate links for here.
