Texture

There are lots of ways to add texture to your cards. Why not try some flocking, 3d Gloss or sanding. Maybe add some material, lace, fluffy stuff or a feather. Of course there is always embossing, wire, beads, glitter card or brads. The possibilities are endless.

Today we're joined by Tara who has kindly agreed to be our Guest Designer. Thanks Tara!

FIRST CHALLENGE

Hi there all, we are EXTREMELY excited to kick start this challenge blog and hope that you all join us and have as much fun as we are.

Now to kick start our very first challenge we thought we would give you a bit of a colour challenge to see what your mojo would come up with.

So the very first challenge for CREATIVE CARD CREW is - GREEN

We would like to see your creations using green as the main colour, if you can make it all green that would be fabulous and if you are actually green ie you recycle within your card then we will give you two entries into the draw for the prize!

That leads me on nicely to the prize! We are honoured to be joined by Shelley who is not only a Guest Designer this week but she is also the sponsor. Shelley is the owner of

ONE STOP CRAFTS - a fantastic online craft store that can meet all your crafting needs.

Shelley has kindly donated a stamp set which is also available in store, U-Mount Dies - Rubber Stamp Die Set - Swirls:

We also have a suprise...we have another guest designer - Jasmine, this young lady is super talented and i urge you all to go and check her blog out and marvel over her beautiful creations.

Ok so on to the DT's cards
