Be Inspired at Home

Hi Everyone. Kathy here this week - and have I got a challenge for you this time! Are you scared yet? You should be! But first, a huge Thanks you to everyone who joined in last week's dare, the cards were all fabulous and we really enjoyed seeing all the different designs you came up with for Jane's White with Pink Christmas.

This week you can make any card you like - so it can still be for Christmas, or to say Thank You or a card for any occasion you like, but I'd like you to look for your inspiration right there, in your home.

The idea is that you look around your home and find a pattern, design, motif etc - or just part of one that you can replicate and use as the inspiration for your card design

You could use the pattern of the floor or wall tiles in your kitchen or bathroom, or even your patio tiles

Or maybe there's a pattern/motif that's used on a picture frame, wallpaper or curtains.

Or how about checking your crockery, a vase, an ornament for a motif you could develop into a design for a card

Once you start looking around, you'll see loads of little design motifs that can work for you - at least I hope you will!
And now I'm going to be really greedy and say that it would be especially good if you could add a photo of the original item when you write your blog!
I don't ask for much, do I? hehehe

Here are some cards from the Design Team - they were very quiet after I posted this dare for them - I was beginning to think it was A Dare Too Far! Hope it's not too scary for all you Daring Cardmakers out there. Please come back and leave a message when you've had a go at this one and we'll be along to see what you've created

Kathy
