DC Elemental inspiration for January



We Daring Cardmakers decided to try something different from last year’s colour combination on the first Friday of each month.

Kathy picked the first picture and explains our idea to you.
"Elemental Inspiration"

Here's how it works;
The DT will take turns to choose and post a picture - it could be a photo, a piece of artwork, or maybe a little montage of  bits and pieces we like.  
Each of these pictures will have a variety of "elements" that we hope will inspire you to get crafting - and we'd like you to use a minimum of THREE.of the elements you see to make a card  
 For instance  the colour combo could be one element, the LO another, and then there may be a landscape, items in the picture, a quote, stitching lines, the media used to create the picture - all sorts of things.  
We will add a little list of suggested elements each month, but you're bound to see more things you can use

What do you think?! I think: Give it a try!

 
I used the following elements: vintage lady, parasol, panels, stitching, colours, quote on different panels.



Für dieses Jahr haben wir Daring Cardmakers uns etwas Neues für euch überlegt. Statt der üblichen Farbherausforderung am ersten Freitag jeden Monats, möchten wir, dass ihr euch noch mehr von unseren ausgewählten Bildern inspirieren lasst.
Verwendet mindestens drei Elemente des Inspirationsbildes auf eurer Karte. Die gewählten Elemente könnten zum Beispiel der Spruch, die Farben, die Motive etc. sein.

Was meint ihr? Ich denke, ihr solltet es einfach mal ausprobieren =)!

DC Inspired by you



It’s already time for the Daring Cardmaker's last challenge in this year.

This week it's Leo here and I'm bringing you the final Daring Cardmakers Dare of 2014! We'll be taking a break over the Christmas holidays but will be back on January 9th raring to go with the new dares for 2015. 
For this final dare of the year I'd like you to be....
Inspired by You
Go through the cards you've made this year, wherever you upload them to and pick out a card you made to inspire a new one. It could be you use a different colour scheme or re-use the layout or the same embellishment, anything you choose. Have fun! 

I liked this card I made for my aunt. Actually I wanted to use it as a sketch. But as always it turned out different. But I used quite a few elements again: tags, pearls, paper doily etc.




Und schon ist es Zeit für die letzte Herausforderung der Daring Cardmakers in diesem Jahr.
Leo hat uns diese Woche herausgefordert uns von unserer Lieblingskarte inspirieren zu lassen.

DC Shake it off



Sharon picked a very trendy topic for the Daring Cardmakers' weekly challenge.

 This week, I've chosen:

Shake it Off

I want to see shaker cards this week, and I'd really love to see some creative ways to fill them.

I managed to get this card done in time. I put some sequins and cake decorations in the shaker box.



I spent the whole weekend in this beautiful city. So my post is a bit late.


Sharon hat diese Woche ein sehr trendiges Thema gewählt: 

Schüttelkarten

Schaut euch auf dem Blog der Daring Cardmakers an, was man alles in Schüttelboxen füllen kann und lasst euch inspirieren.

DC December Colour Combo



Dawn picked her first colours for the Daring Cardmakers.
This weeks colour combination dare is  RED and BLUE (any shade)

I really do love seeing red and blue on Christmas cards or as a theme for your Christmas tree.  Something a little non traditional.  Hope this weeks challenge kick starts your creativeness ready for the festive season.

And here is the beautiful inspirational picture she send along.

I tried Jennifer McGuire’s tip to use greeting stamps as a background. You can see her great video tutorial here.

The English version is red and blue.



The German version is blue and silver.

Dawn hat diese Woche zum ersten mal Farben für die Farbherausforderung der Daring Cardmakers ausgesucht.
Rot und blau!

Ich habe vor Wochen Jennifer McGuires Videoanleitung gesehen und musste es unbedingt einmal selbst ausprobieren einen Hintergrund aus verschiedenen Textstempeln zu erstellen. Ich bin mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden :-).
