This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using
your Favourite: Embellishment (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.
Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:
I keep returning to this card layout time and time again because I love the soft ribbon tied in a double bow and pretty paper flowers framing my watercoloured image.
I really like using some type of thin thread of twine to embellish my cards. I love the rustic feel this jute gives this cute little scarecrow.
My favourite embellishments requires a season, so this season it is my pumpkins,
Halloween or just cute, I love my pumpkins dies...
I don't have a very favourite way to embellish my cards. It always depends on the image or recipient. I like using these stars especially for male cards.
I have a pretty clean and simple card making style, so I don't like to use bulky embellishments. I do love using my hotfix gems. They are available in many colours, sizes and even shapes and are really easy to use on a card.
I love lace and pearls to embellish my cards. I use pearls quite a lot but styles change and lace seems to be out of favour in general at the moment. I do like to add it to this type of card though as it makes it extra special.
I seem to have a bit of an obsession with hidden papervlips at the moment. They are brilliant for using up scraps of paper, fabric, fussy cuts and all sorts of bits and bobs. They are functional too and can be added to cards, tags, journals and folios. Here are some festive ones I've made using scraps.
I have a lot of favorite embellishments. I love to use thin twine with a charm. It gives something special to a card and it's not too bulky.
It's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.
Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.
Good luck, and happy crafting.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.
