Daring Cardmakers Episode 2


I can't believe I did the challenge wrong yesterday......what an idiot......I must have got it mixed up in my mind with a previous challenge I had read somewhere or something.


Anyway I've been back to the mixing bowl and here's what I got......


A piece of paper from scrapbox
Ribbon
Glitter glue


Even deeper despair than yesterday but I managed to make a very simple card by going over the pattern on the paper with the glitter glue and tying the ribbon around it once it was dry.
I was tempted to have another item from the bowl in the hope of getting a stamp to add a greeting but decided against it in the end.


Hopefully this time I got it right..........lol!!!

  4. I think this is lovely Sheila
    The paper is gorgeous and a touch of glitter just emphasises that, as does the ribbon - it looks really pretty.

    You're a star- and I know why you didn't go back to the mixing bowl - the next thing out would have been eitehr peeloffs or Iris-folding....

  6. Well I think your mixing bowl turned out a lovely card even if it is not 'your style'. PP reminds me of a technique I think I saw on Anntaurus blog using background stamps to make a backing sheet, which I want to have a try at - but just have not done so yet!

  7. Less is more in this case, its a simply sweet card. The ribbon you've choosen goes well, and the glitter is just a lovely highlight for the paper.

  13. Brilliant Sheila, only 3 items and no stamps! I know what you mean about picking out yet another item, it could have been teabag folding!

    Love the card and glad to hear you're comfortably back in your safe zone, Rhi xxx

  16. Oh you do make me laugh, I have such a lovely image of a truly exasperated Sheila! The 'mistake' card is just lovely, call it a happy accident! And this one is so pretty, you managed well with so few bits.
