DCM - Lacy Days of Summer


Kathy's turn to dare us on Daring Card makers -here is what she said:

My challenge consists of just one word really and that word is;
LACE

You're free to interpret "Lace" in whatever way you like; you could use the actual word on your card, stamp or cut a lacy design or maybe use one of these dictionary definitions to inspire you:
1. a net-like ornamental fabric made of threads by hand or machine.
2. a cord or string for holding or drawing together, as when passed through holes in opposite edges.
3. ornamental cord or braid, esp. of gold or silver, used to decorate uniforms, hats, etc.

4. a small amount of alcoholic liquor or other substance added to food or drink.

I was very tempted to go with the alcoholic liquor - ha ha! But decided to drink that and go with the 'straight-laced' approach of definition #2. I used a sketch from Becky Fleck's Page Maps - Card no. 30, papers are K&Co, vintage photograph from Gaby Braun at gaby cajubrasil, Thank You stamp, My Mind's Eye.

Something Completely Different - Postcard, Turquoise & Brown


Something Completely Different - Postcard Challenge
Theme:- TURQUOISE (OR TEAL) AND BROWN
you can stamp in black and shade but the main colours must be turquoise (teal) and brown

I'm still managing to use up the scraps of K&Co Wild Saffron, which is mainly Turquoise and Brown! I've combined it with a photograph from Gaby Braun's blog 'gaby cajubrasil' which I recoloured to match the theme. My projects seem to have gone all vintage and distressed at the moment, I dare say it will pass lol!
