** September Card Challenge!! **

**Mystik Nat** · 01-09-2010, 12:52 PM

Hi everyone! Hopefully you're all refreshed from your holidays and summer break or just easing back into some creative time...

This month's challenge comes from the interwebs! I've found three random pics to inspire you when making this month's a card project....

You can either take inspiration from the colours, designs or even the items themselves, just try and incorprate an aspect of one or all of these pics in your card project.

Just post your cards to this thread, then one lucky person will be chosen as a 'winner' and will receive a goodie of a prize through the post courtesy of Leo (CraftyPrincess).

Here's one to get us started.

I took inspiration from the ticket strips and fabric flowers.

ohhhhhhhh cool card Nat - I just want the items in the three pictures so badly now

)))

Ha, I know... they are kinda nice - there is a tutorial for the fabric flowers on the AC blog, I fancy tryng them but think I would need a hot glue gun for best results... hm.

Love that sentiment kraft ribbon Nat - any idea where you saw it please ?

I think it's an old pic from Ormolu's etsy shop.

Lovely, lovely card Nat. You always have such interesting embellies on your cards, plus you make them look interesting too. You know what I mean.

Here is my effort. Not anywhere near as good as Nat's! I was inspired by the grouping of three flowers.

**Mystik Nat** · 14-09-2010, 09:32 AM

That's lovely Hannah - thoss flowers you've used are lush!

Lovely inspiration piccys Nat

I enjoy making those flowers and I've just got some lovely new fabrics so I'll defo make some up to go in this months prize pack.
It defo makes it easier with a hot glue gun using fabric but you can make them with tissue paper too and use pritt stick and it holds. Also the pretty masking tapes and decorative tissue tapes you can get you can make them out of and they're self sticky so it sticks to the card base and to each other.

Here is another card I have made for this month's challenge. I used Cath Kidston fabric for the rolled flower.

**CraftyPrincess** · 16-09-2010, 03:30 PM

OK I've put together some goodies for this months prize. I picked out a cute Sassafras Mix and Mend wee bundle then made some of those fabric flowers in colours to accent the papers and added some mother of pearl buttons, a butterfly garland echoing the same colours and some fun bird brads, tags, lace and pins.

Cor blimey that is very nice indeed!

**Fifi-T** · 19-09-2010, 06:59 PM

Love your card Nat and what an amazing prize. Here's my effort influenced by the flowers.

Using making memories papers I got from TKMaxx, I made the flowers in the same way as above, coated in glitter mod podge.

**Mystik Nat** · 19-09-2010, 07:59 PM

LMAO, I cannot believe it Fi - I have just made a card today using the same stack of papers from TK Maxx, different design pick from me, but what are the odds.

Lovely card, and those flowers are fab! I think I need instructions on making those flowers....
