Waxing lyrical

Hello crafters, thank you for sharing the love with us in last week's challenge!

It's Joanne here this week and I'd like you to find a way to incorporate wax into your project — it might be figuratively (an image of candles, perhaps) or literally (e.g. use a wax crayon or candle to create a resist, try out a technique like this or this with wax paper, get out the encaustic wax and iron if you have them).

Here's some inspiration from the team:

February Elemental Inspiration Challenge

Happy Friday, Crafters!

It's Nat here today with our new challenge, and to say a big Thank You to those who joined in with Joanne's Around the House challenge last week - that one really made us think, didn't it?

As it's the first Friday of the month it's time for the

February 2023 Elemental Inspiration Challenge

You need to pick any 3 elements from the photo for your card - remember colours count as one element.

There are plenty of elements to choose from: hearts, fabric and knit textures, geometric layouts, pastel colours, cups, drinks, socks, landscape scenes, even pink chocolate

Here's my inspiration photo:

You can see lots of inspiration from the Design Team below and we

look forward to seeing your creations!

Around the house

Hello Cardmakers, thanks for joining us and thank you for sharing your magenta creations with us last week!

It’s Joanne here with this week’s challenge and there are two ways to play

“around the house”.

You can either use a household object as part of your creation (e.g. foil from the kitchen, dry wall tape from the tool box, scrape a design into paint with the prongs of a fork) or use an image of a household object as your focal point (e.g. a TV, a food mixer, a games console). You could do both for extra virtual brownie points if the mood takes you!

Here’s some inspiration from the design team:
