Daring to Dream: The Card Concept Challenge

 


Well, hello there! And welcome to the Card Concept's newest challenge, 
Daring to Dream.


Confession time... I had the hardest time with this photo. Why? Too masculine?
Muted colors? No flowers? I finally decided to focus on the globes, (always
loved globes!) and design my own way! That's a hint for you too, folks. Do
what you love, create your own way! 


And, I rather like the results! 
On water color paper, I smooshed color onto the surface with a stamp block.
It took 3 tries, and this is the one I liked best.


Glorious Globes from PTI haven't seen ink in a while, and I love the sizes in the set.
Simple stamping, and a few pop ups for the books and globes.
In case you can't read it, the sentiment says: 'You will change the world.'
The card is for a brilliant DIL/Geography teacher, who is truly on a path to
change with education. 

Play along for two weeks, and remember to add our challenge photo and
pick a style. Choose one of ours or design one of your own.

By the way, mine is Mixed Media (watercolors and inks) and Clean and Layered.

Products used:
PTI: Glorious Globes
The Greetery: All Blessings Flow (greenery sprigs), Crimped Frame Die.
All Altenew Inks
Tim Holtz watercolor card stock

The Card Concept: Around the World

 


Hello Card Concept fans! It's time for a new challenge, and we have this photo
as inspiration:


Around the World is our theme, and I focused right in on that
Glorious Globe! Decided to tuck in some of the blooms too.


I love this set from C9, and don't use it enough. The sentiments are
designed to stamp within the globe. Really packs a wow of a thanks!


Lots of 'popping' up with foam for dimension, and silver embossing powder
for a bit of bling.

Hope you play along, I love seeing what you all imagine from the 
inspiration photo. 
See you in the Card Concept line up!

Supplies:

Concord & 9th: Globe Greetings; So Happy For You
The Greetery: Postal Frames dies
Atenew: Inks
