Starry Skies

Hello

Welcome to another Daring Cardmakers' Friday!

We'd like to say a big Thank You to everyone who joined in with us last time and shared such fab Tags, Labels and Toppers - so much inspiration and creativity!

This week we're back to making cards and the theme is
Starry Skies 

Take your inspiration from the night sky when you make your cards this time.
One star or a whole galaxy of them....or maybe a glimpse of Santa's Sleigh flying by....or a Heavenly Host of angels.
Remember, it doesn't have to be Christmas - there's a whole galaxy of possibilities out there.....

Here's what the team have been making this week:

Cards; Winter flowers and foliage

 Hello!

Welcome to another Daring Friday, week 2 of our Countdown to Christmas series of challenges.

First, a big Thank You to those who joined in with us last week we hope you enjoyed suing that lovely Inspiration picture

This week we challenge you to use

Winter Flowers and Foliage
Nature gives us some beautiful things to brighten up the Winter and we'd love to see them on your cards this week.  Make them the focus of your card or use them to highlight and embellish. So add some Seasonal Foliage to your cards this week and think Poinsettias, Pine cones, Holly and Evergreens.

Remember, although we're in the run up to 25th December, you can make any kind of card you like - it doesn't have to have to be a Christmas card, so maybe a Winter birthday card.....
