Monochromatic Rainbow

Good Morning everyone, Beckie here this week with a new dare for you but first off we would like to thank everyone who joined in Leo's dare last week, The Door To .....

So this weeks dare is 

MONOCHROMATIC 

RAINBOW

I think everyone, not matter what age, likes to see a rainbow in the sky.  I often look for them when the rain has been and the sun comes out.  For this dare I would like you to choose ONE colour from the rainbow and use ONLY that colour on the card.  No other colour maybe used, even the card blank must be in the same family colour. An arc must also be used on the card.

Have fun and I shall leave you with some inspiration from the design team to inspire you .....

The Door To..........

Hi Leo here with you this week!
We had some lovely 'Elemental Inspiration' cards last week so thank you to every one who played along. 
I've got a new challenge for you this week,

The Door To.................

This week in the UK we're picking our new government and the leader of the party that comes out top on polling day gets a new address, No. 10 Downing Street! Probably one of the most famous front doors in the world :)

Inspired by election day and No.10 I'd like you to include some kind of opening door on your card. It could be a simple interactive opening fixed somewhere on your card or your card could have a fancy way of opening or you could make the whole card a door shape, whatever you can come up with.

Here's what the design team has come up with this week to inspire you!

Elemental Inspiration for May

Hopefully all those lovely Get Well cards featuring April showers (amongst other things) will bring about some lovely May flowers now that the month has turned.
It means that we have had to say goodbye to lovely Enfys who has been a great guest designer - thanks so much Enfys.  

Actually the Elemental Inspiration chosen by Lythan has a weather connection as well - its a picture of a windy day!

As ever the challenge is to create a card which has been inspired by at least 3 elements from the  picture on it. It could be the colour scheme, theme of the picture or some of the shapes.  Have a look and see how the Design Team were inspired....

Under the Weather

Hello!

A big thank you to everyone who joined in with Nat's quirky "Arrow" themed challenge last week, it was fun to see how you responded to that one!

Now though, are you ready for a new challenge? We hope so!

This week's challenge is called:

Under the Weather

It seems that everyone we know is either feeling really poorly, or is just getting over some nasty bug or other.  So we thought we'd have a challenge all about "Get Well Soon" cards....and what with it still being April, the month famed for it's rain showers (though here in the UK it's been pretty much "sunshine all the way" this year) we'd like you to add a 

weather-related twist to your cards.

To put it simply, we'd like to see  Weather Related Get Well Soon cards

We're looking forward to seeing what you make, but  for starters here's what our team came up with

Something Green... and pointy... and Arrow-y

Hey everyone!

It's Nat here - before I get down to business with this week's challenge, thank you to those of you who joined in with last week's "I Like Pie" dare!

My challenge to you this week is inspired by my current TV obsession: Arrow.

Without spoiling the entire series for those that haven't seen it, I'll let Mr Queen provide the intro:

The name of the island they found me on is Lian Yu. It's Mandarin for "purgatory". I've been stranded here for five years. I've dreamt of my rescue every cold black night since then. For five years I've had only one thought, one goal - survive.
Survive and one day return home.
The island held many dangers. To live, I had to make myself more than what I was, to forge myself into a weapon. I am returning not the boy who was shipwrecked, but the man who will bring justice to those who have poisoned my city.
My name is Oliver Queen.

I could go on and on about my love of this show, the triumvirate that is Team Arrow, the comedic and MIT-Class-of-'09 genius of Felicity Smoak, and how this show has been playing on constant loop since I binge-watched Seasons 1 and 2 last summer, but I will spare you!*

Basically, it's a really good show - you should check it out.

* And full disclosure - I am an Olicity shipper! :D

So onto the details of this week's dare:

My challenge to you is to feature arrows on your card this week. They are a very current design trend in the crafting industry at the moment - lots of stamps, dies, papers are featuring arrows.

I would love to see whether you can interpret anything else from Arrow into your cards - like the colour green (as Oliver Queen knows, it's not easy being green), a nod to the Starling city skyline, comic book super heroes, Felicity Smoak's iconic glasses, somehow getting the word Sinceriously on your card...

Whatever you go with, there has to be at least one arrow on your card!

If you need further inspiration - get yourself on Pinterest and YouTube for Arrow-related content.

Here are the fab creations the Design Team came up with - they have not failed this dare!
