This week its my turn (Bondgirl aka Tracie) to dare you all. I looked at my cards last week and thought hmm they are ok but they are all very similar - white square card, double matted embellishment, printed greeting. Dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with doing what you are good at, I bet we all have our "signature" ranges but I realised what a wealth of techniques and styles I wasnt trying. So this week I dare you to step outside your comfort zone and have a go at something new - be it something you have never tried, or something you havent done for ages.
Have a look at what we came up with ....

The Design team found that as they were creating they were remembering their early cardmaking days as well as feeling all sorts of emotions due to being out of their comfort zone. Why not let us know how you felt about it as well as showing us your cards?
As usual there are 2 ways of sharing with us. Either add a comment with your blog link or email us at daringcardmakers@hotmail.co.uk and we will add your card to our Gallery.
Have Fun!

Cor! The scope is gi-normous! But ended up with brayering, ispiration from someones blog... must go and find who it was... in the mean time...
www.starcreations.blogspot.com is where my efforts can be viewed
I decided to challenge myself to make a BROWN toned card and not to handcut anything from the patterned paper. Quite a challenge for me!! - card can be found at www.scrapsidaisy.typepad.com
As a stamper my challenge was 'No Stamps Allowed'!! Wowzers was I uncomfortable! Anyway my effort is here:-
