How Random!

This week the fantastic Kel has set a brilliant dare that is a real challenge.

Firstly make a list of 10-20 crafty items you have in your stash, whether it be brads, ribbons, peel-off's, craft robo, dies, stamps, glittter, buttons, flowers, patterned papers, paint... You get the idea! Give them all a number or print them out a sheet and pop them in a hat all folded up.

Next, ask someone non-crafty to either pick 3-5 of your numbers or pieces of paper from your from your hat.

Finally, make a card using ONLY the items chosen. A card blank, some sort of sticky stuff and your basic craft tools are allowed If you want to make it really challenging, list plenty of items that you haven't used in a while, or thought you may never use again!

Here's the design teams cards to get you going, each Random list will be on their individual blogs. We love seeing your creations and as always there are two ways to share them with us. Either leave a message with you're blog link so we can come and see, or email us at www.daringcardmakers@hotmail.com, with your name and website if you have one. Remember to tell us what random things you had to use!

Hi from a long lost Darer!! I would love to have a go at this dare but am still catching up on some others - notably the foreign language one and the one where we were asked to use 20 of something. A card combining these dares is on my Blog if you have time to take a look -- :-)
I love all the cards I have seen on DCM for this dare! I will have to do a tour of all your Blogs in the next day or so - I look forward to catching up with you all again this week.

My friend decided to go to my stash & just pull out 5 random items & said, make a card with this, so sweat wasn't in it.

I have dared and it just about turned my hair grey.........well greyer than it already is under the colour which comes courtesy of Garnier.....lol!!!
Fabulous cards from the team as usual.
Mine is a bit of a shocker as it is not my usual style which wouldn't go with what my lot pulled out of the hat.
You can see it at

Thanks for the fab challenge.

Yet another brilliant dare and even more brilliant cards. I'm looking forward to catching up with the dares I've not had time for over the last month or so!

Di said...

Well this was so hard. I wanted to do an engagement card but my OH picked out all sorts of things which I rarely used and which just didn't seem to go together. Manicstamper thinks she's got problems, my grey hair has now gone white!. One attempt landed in the bin and I'm just not happy with the one posted but decided to cut the stress, draw a line under this one and post it anyway.

Ouch!

BTW, I posted my Heroes late as we had a manic week, so if you want to go and look at that one it's on my blog.

Not yet had time to look at the others, but will go off browsing this afternoon hopefully.

What a fun challenge! I had to think outside of the box for this one. No stamps? No inks?

I just posted my card on my blog:
