Back to Basics... (edited to include Leah's card)
Friday is dare day!! Also it's my day off so I had all afternoon to make a card!
For this weeks dare, I dare you to "start from scratch" I want to you design a card with NO purchased/pre-assembled embellishments - that means no blooms unless you cut them yourself, no buttons, brads etc etc. I guess how easy this is depends on your usual style.
This dare couldn't have come at a better time as I just got this fabby new retro flower punch so I got to use it today.
Whale of a punch - retro flower, small circle punch, ric rac, paper and card from April's SA kit, stamp also from SA, and some hand stitching.
Leah also made a card which is really fab considering she is only 13! She loved the card that Allison sent me so she made her own template and made this super duper card with it! She cut the flower from the papers to use as her embellishment.
Don't you just love it when your kids raid your stash and use your basic grey gypsy papers and ribbon! This template would make fab party invites ( must write note on calendar - lock up all basic grey papers before Leah's next Birthday)Enjoy the weekend,

Lovely card Sarah, those colours work so well together don't they? How big is your new punch - I've got the same shaped one but I think iot must be the smaller size

Great cards Sarah and Leah! Love the style of the cut on Leah's and your flowers are very funky Sarah - love the way you've cut them from patterned pp.
