Hello Everyone,
Summer has officially arrived, the weather is pretty consistently good, it's my birthday this week (less said about that the better - reluctant 30 something), and I have a gig to look forward to in July, and am tempted by another in August. Meantime I have a few blogs I'm working on in drafts, but have had a bit of writers block, so instead have uploaded my entry into the Daring Cardmakers Challenge for this week.
I've really enjoyed joining in with the themes when I can, and seeing how other people have portrayed them. This weeks theme is Tropical which is close to my heart, it always reminds me of my favourite tropical holiday to the Polynesian Resort at Disney World; I love that place so much!
To make this card I used elements from a recent Hunkydory members kit, which is possibly one of my favourites they have produced. I absolutely love the colours and the different birds in the toppers, and had a lot of fun creating this flamingo card. I teamed the flamingo topper and a 'let's celebrate' sentiment with some DCWV cardstock and silver holographic card to add a touch of sparkle. It was fun playing around with the layout and choosing stash items to match, and I am really pleased with the end result.
There's some really pretty inspiration from the Daring Cardmakers Blog Design Team over on this post, and you can also follow along with the other challenge entries. If you are keen on card making, then why not keep your eyes open for a new challenge each Friday.
Don't forget you can also follow These City Days on Instagram for more crafty posts, local lifestyle pics, and teasers of forthcoming reviews and posts.
