Daring Card Makers Challenge

On DCM, this week's dare was set by Jozza and as its Fireworks week here in the UK she has gone all sparkly - so the brief was lots of bling!! They are sponsored this week by Louise Brigden (the designer of Dottie and George plus a whole host of other fabulous images) and Charmed cards and Crafts (the shop who sell the downloadable images). As it is a sponsored dare this week, they will choose a random winner who will win 2 download collections of their choice or the Dottie and George Christmas download. In addition to this fabulous prize, Karen who owns Charmed Cards and Crafts is going to put together a little something extra from her shop making it 2 prizes up for offer this week so it is going to be well worth taking them up on the dare to be in with a chance to win!

Here is my card. I have used one of the Dottie and George Rock Till You Drop Downloads and have coloured it in using Prisma Pencils. Dottie's skirt has been glittered and I have also added gems. The backing card is just plain holographic card and mirri board with extra large gems added.

I have made a Christmas Spring Card. I have used card from my own stash. The background card has been cuttlebugged and peeloffs added. I have used the Santas Sleigh and the Reindeer QuicKutz dies for the top "spring" part and using holly and berries die, added them to the bottom corners.

Dottie's World - Challenge

This week's challenge on Dottie's World was to create something which was to include one or more of the Charmed Download images and to be only 3 main colours. Black, white and one colour of your choice. You can use as many tones of grey and of your chosen colour and you can obviously use a skintone and haircolour but that's it.

I used Chef George and as you can see the other colour of my choice was red. The image was coloured in using Prisma pencils and my own background paper. The cards behind the image were cuttlebugged using the Swiss Dots folder and ribbons and sentiment added to finish off.

Everybody who enters this week’s challenge will get a lovely freebie Fairy Dottie image. So pop along to their Blog for your chance for this lovely freebie.
