DCC & FRIENDS challenge #1

Good afternoon crafty friends. Today marks the launch of a brand new monthly challenge.
We're called DCC & Friends, which matches our website and card swap group. Dawn's Crafty Cards and Friends.

This challenge we are proud to be sponsored by THAT CRAFT PLACE where there's a whole host of crafty goodyness to be bought.

Our first challenge theme is ANYTHING GOES. We'd love to see all your crafty creations from cards to tags to altered art, scrapbooking,  parchment work, any papercrafting creations you make are perfect.
This challenge runs from 15th July 2012 to midday 14th August 2012, with winners being announced after the next challenge has launched.
There is a prize for the overall winner and a top three will also be chosen and all will receive winners badges to display on your blog.
You can also enter through the website, so a blog isn't necessary to join in the fun. So come on over, grab our badge and have a look at the rest of the design team's work and we'll be offering more inspiration mid way through the challenge.

We also have something a little extra for you too, a treasure hunt, collect the five letters, with one given each challenge to get a secret code, then everyone that emails me with the correct code will go into the draw for a crafty prize.

Here is my Design Team sample, using Kraftin Kimmie stamp and coloured with polychromo pencils. The flowers I made using lace and stitching into shape and I added lots of cosmic shimmer olympic gold pearl glue dots to decorate. I chose to use nice bright summery colours but still adding a distressed feel by scuffing and inking the edges of my layers.



this card has lots of my crafty passions in it, pink, handmade embellishments, dies and one of my all time fave stamp collections


Happy Crafting
Luv Dawn
