Seashells On The Seashore

Hello crafty friends!!

It's Rizwana here with this weeks challenge but first I would like to thank everyone who took part in last weeks Sunshine challenge. It was lovely to see all your beautiful sunny creations. Now that the weather has started to warm up I'm sure lots of you will be heading to the beach!! So I thought to keep with the summer vibe, I would call this weeks challenge:

Seashells on the Seashore

Create a card with seashells. Use images, dies, stamps or even real seashells on your cards this week. You can even draw or doodle your own seashells. Have fun creating!!

Here is some amazing DT inspiration.

Sunshine!

Thanks for sharing your "crowning glory“ creations with us!

This week I want you to celebrate and enjoy

SUNSHINE

and hopefully this will encourage the sun to show up a bit more often in the next few weeks and months 😊.

Put a sun, bright yellow circles or sun rays on your card. It might be a sun as a focal point or in the background or as part of a scene.

So dig out your dies, stamps etc. and send some sunshine into the world!

(And after your crafty session go outside and enjoy some sunshine!)

Here are some sunny examples from the design team:

Crowning Glory

Hello Crafty Friends

Welcome to the weekly challenge from the team at the Daring Cardmakers.

We hope you've had a lovely week and found time to get some crafting done!

A big, well-deserved thank you to everyone that joined in last week with Shabneez's Fabulously Fruity May elemental inspiration challenge . we loved seeing what you made.

Its Kathy here and this week with this challenge:

Crowning Glory
The phrase Crowning Glory is often used to describe that extra bit of panache

that makes something look realty special!

I'd like to see that reflected on your cards this week.

So as we've just celebrated the coronation of King Charles III, you could add a crown to your cards, or perhaps your 'Crowning Glory' will be a fabulous hairstyle or a wonderfully flamboyant hat. or something spectacular that adds extra pizazz.

Here's some wonderful inspiration

The picture I chose has lots of fruit, straws, bold colours, paint smears etc. You choose 3 elements from it for your card and colours count as 1. You can see the wonderful inspiration from the Design Team below:
