Vellum

Hi everyone, it's Sharon here with this weeks dare.  Firstly, thanks to everyone who joined in with Lythan's choice for our monthly colour combo last week.  It was a gorgeous colour palette and we really enjoyed seeing what you all came up with.

This weeks dare is quite simple:

Vellum

If you're like me, you've got a stash of vellum in a drawer somewhere and you don't often think to use it in your creations, so I'd like to see some vellum somewhere on your card.

Here are some ideas from the team to kick start your inspiration:

Colour challenge September

Hi everyone, Lythan here.

Thank you for all your lovely bouquets of flowers for Rein's dare last week.

This is the first Friday of September (only three more first Fridays to go until the end of the year!) so it is time for another colour challenge. My husband Phil took some photos the other day and one was of people crabbing in Torquay. (Come to Torbay and you HAVE to go crabbing at some point). I was struck by how the people in his photo had toning coloured clothes on, as if styled for a photo shot, all in muted tones apart from a few pops of colour. Here is the photo

and here is my attempt at a colour palette to match. But feel free to ignore it and take your inspiration directly from the photo

The Design Team have done an amazing job with these colours - as they proved quite a challenge for some of us! Have a look at what they have done (and why not leave a comment on their blogs?!). Then it is over to you. Have fun, and don't forget to come back and share what you've made with us.

Focus on Flowers

Thanks to all of you that joined us for Gez's Beach Life challenge last week.  Your cards were wonderful as always and we loved seeing them all.

I's Rein here this time and my dare this week is very simple!

 Focus on Flowers

I would just love to see flowers on your card -  we often use flowers on our cards, but often as an added embellishment to the "main act", so this week, please make them the main feature of your creations  and let them really show off their beauty.

Have fun, and don't forget to come back and share what you've made with us.

Film 2012

Hi there, it's Jo here this week with a new challenge for you.
First though a big thank you to all those who "Got Knotted" with us for Lythan's dare last week - what a wonderful bunch of cards you shared.

This week, my challenge is all about

Film Quotes

I'd like you to use a line/quotation from the Big Screen as your inspiration and see where that leads your cardmaking.
A great chance for all you Movie-Buffs to use your favourite lines, but If you are in need of some inspiration, this site;

http://www.moviequotesandmore.com/

has some fantastic quotes and sayings to inspire!

Here are some ideas from our (still depleted due to holidays) team which we hope will help get you thinking.

Have fun!
