Cupcake Crafts Challenge #37 – chosen by Caryn (ooh, that’s me – again!)

Yes, it’s Monday so it’s a new challenge over at Cupcake Crafts. It’s the first of the DT challenges and this week it’s my turn – yay! Here is what I want you all to do:

“I am so thrilled to be setting the challenge for you this week and have chosen my 5 gorgeous children as my inspiration! So in honour of Daniel, Olivia, Georgia, Sophie and Pippa your creation must include 5 DIFFERENT embellishments (not including your card, papers or images!). You can use more than one flower or brad for example, but it will only count once!!! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with.
Hugs,Caryn xxx”

LOL – I hope this isn’t too tricky – maybe it will be for those minimalists amongst you!! I get to pick the top 5 too (the hardest part of all!) so I can’t wait to see what you all create.

Here is my example. My 5 includes ribbon, eyelets, staples, gems and glitter. I don’t make enough cards for boys so enjoyed making this one.

The papers, card and chipboard elements are by Sassafrass Lass from a Sarah’s Cards kit from last year. I coloured the chipboard circle/star with a blue promarker before covering it with Aqua stickles. I used my much neglected cropadile on the row of eyelets and then stapled the card along the edges for an “industrial look”. The ribbon is from a Raspberry Ribbons kit.

The rest of the DT really did us proud with their examples – they’re amazing. Please pop by the blog and have a look. Think you can even beat 5???

  6. Hi Caryn,
    Thank you so much for your kind words and appreciation!
    Sorry for not posting the card recipe, but, to be honest, I was so excited with the challenge and all that I forgot. The scallop is done with my new Fiskars border emboss daisy.
    I loved your sketch and really enjoyed the challenge at ASOS!
